Power potential of N/A 16:1 LQ4 on E85?
Around 16:1 compression, have e85 readily available near me. Was thinking of a quick Denali build 4wd launches look darn fun. Seems like it'd cost much more building a 6.6 dmax, plus I'd have more use for an SUV than a truck. If it's not worth the trouble of staying NA, hopefully a 4.0-4.5 whipple with 10.5-11:1 compression will help me hit over 1000whp, man can dream can't he? Thanks for the help!

16.5:1 compression on a solid iron duramax diesel block stock, you can run 60 psi boost no problem....16.5:1 on an LS Block call some eod techs, they can achieve the same result with some C4. I'd love to see a video of this...

No I'm serious. Built LQ4 with 16.1:1 compression, all motor. What kind of power would it make? Debating on a full size SUV like a Tahoe/Suburban, or an E36 bimmer. Leaning more towards the bimmer for all motor. Found a few people running up to 16.5:1 and around 11:1-13:1 on boosted setups. A built 4.8 high rpm screamer would be cool too.

16 to 1 sounds more like e98 territory especially if you ever get ahold of some winter blend e85 which is only 70% E and only 105 octane thats why they rate e85 at 105 octane - lowest octane you should ever get out of an e85 pump.
