Boost for sure works well with E85.

I had a couple friends about 15 years back that was building N/A engines using E85. Knowing that was the fuel to be used these engines were purposely built with a lot of compression. I think they were 12:1 or a little more if I remember correctly, pretty radical camshafts, carbs setup for E85 and ran strictly an E85 diet.

They ran extremely strong but the problem was E85 availability. It wasn't everywhere then and it's still not everywhere now. That really limited the distance these cars could travel and basically remained around the town where the E85 pumps were, because regular pump gas for these engines at that point wasn't an option anymore.
