E85 is unique, or different than regular gas. It really doesn't have a boost limit before it knock. If you can supply the fuel for the boost, its not going to cause detonation. I believe that E85 uses about 30% more fuel than regular gas, so you are going to need to beef up the fuel system. I would suggest in the 80lb range for injectors and maybe some ethanol friendly dual in tank pumps.
