I know that alcohol takes alot to detonate. My instructor in college builds top notch tractor pulling trucks with blown alcohol hemis. They run 12.5-1 compression and 55-60 lbs of boost thru a 14-71 hi helix blower. He says that if he could spin the blower faster he would. That says alot for detonation resistance. He is a well known with the nitro guys and has a huge name in the hemis and builds 2wd tractor pulling trucks. 3 time crew chief of the year when he was with the kodiac sled. he has no reason to lie. So i believe him.
In college we also had a tractor pulling tractor that was a six cylinder diesel block that has staged GIANT turbos ran 100+lbs of boost and made 3000 hp. Once again alchy is where its at. I just wish they sold e85 around me. But they dont.

I have the C5 from the contest. It make 1200rwhp on E85 with no intercooler. I am not planning on running one but will prob have to run water injection on it to get the IAT's down on the steet. I am using 160lb injectors and was at about 90% duty cylcle at 1200hp. I only made it to 5000rpm before I ran out of pump. If I had gone to 7000 I would have been out of injector. The guy with the Rambler in the contest had a set of 240lb injectors that he got from an outlaw or pro5.0 guy( I think Steve Petty). He was making 1640 and still had some injector left. It is definetly doable and reliable. I've been running E85 for 3 years now and its flex fuel, have had no problems caused by the fuel.
