e85 no intercooler? Setup is a 402ci lq9 block ls3 heads. Forged bottom end. Around 11.3:1 static comp. Cam is 234/242 @ .050 115lsa .665 lift. Will be running pump e85 (tests at around 92%)
Going to be putting up to 20psi or so into it on kill running twin s366 borgs. Will be street driven, drag raced occasionally and generally given a hard time.dum
Possible to run with no intercooler? Will look at meth injection if needed

I think compression is high on your setup for no inter cooler. I ran no intercooler for a bit. 9.5:1, e85 with meth cruising I had iats in the 170's on a 85 degree day. On a short burst they would climb to 230-240. It's hard to see what the combustion temps are doing, but I wasn't comfortable with it so I bought a tread stone.
A little high on compression, if doing so tread lightly on the tune up and don't just look for a boost number. Highest I have ran was 10.5:1 with no intercooler at 28psi and the car went 8.3@170 @3400lbs. Camshaft, chamber, quench, and piston design could make or break that though.

thanks!
Fair size solid cam 255 range at .050, spherical dish and softened chambers in a SBF. IATs would peg at the 1/8th.
Boost doesn't mean a whole lot to me as the hp and mph through the traps. Cals SBF we build went 189mph at 3550lbs with only 22psi on corn.
