Only thing is i really wanted to be able to drive it cross country out to CA to visit my buddy and do a track day out there with him.

No reason you couldn't drive it to CA, even if you ran out of E85. You could just run a lower boost map.
I would just read that link I posted. Here it is again, but read more about what others said than myself; those who lowered compression:

In the beginning I was in the camp that E85 was enough for 400whp, that it only made sense to drop compression when wanting more power than that, or if someone was going to spend a lot of time on 91 octane, but it seems like if anyone is going to be doing track days, wants more power off E85, more power potential down the road, etc then might as well drop the compression. In fact, several guys with lower compression motors chimed in and their responses confirmed the benefits. You are in the E85 capital of the country, practically, so access isn't an issue, but for reliability, I would consider dropping compression, especially if you will be doing track days.
