Send a PM to Charlie66 as he has been running e-85 with boost for years, He has run as high as 39 psi, He makes 750+ HP out of a 1/2 of a 400 engine (4 cylinder pontiac engine) with 4 more cylinders he would make 1500 hp out of a 400 cid engine on e-85.

HE can give you some very good advice on running a E-85 engine with boost on the street.

1,500 HP at 39 lbs of boost.....why so much boost? Im making around 1,400 at 11 lbs of boost!
