Can you explain why ethanol would allow one to safely make power in the mid 300s whereas, I assume, achieving that power with higher boost isn't safe? In my mind, the rods have to be able to...

The differences I'm aware of is that version 3 has a larger intercooler (for 500+ WHP) and the option for the G25-550/ G25-660. Double check with the vendors though.
