Also as he said E85 allows you to gain more power through more aggressive timing. The problem with gas is that as you increase boost you increase the probability of preignition resulting in knock. It is knock while boosted that has the biggest possibility of blowing rods apart. The E85 is not as susceptible to preignition which means less chance of knock so you gain power. It is all in the tune of course.

In that case do you reckon the power increase risk with e85 would offset the risk of blowing rods? I'm pretty keen to supercharge is and take the risk with e85, if the risk isnt ridiculously higher
I guess it all depends on the tune, I'll have to do some more research
