Imo from what I have seen there is little to no advantage running it in an na engine unless you push the compression up. In an engine that can run regular pump (91-92 ocrane) there might actually be a performance loss with e85

Thats what I was wondering right there. If I have to deal with any buildup of gunk in the carb and a performance loss it might not be worth it.
Less consistent, its a bracket car.
It does not get hot where I live. 70-75 on the beach is a hot day around here.
If E-85 was available when I finished the engine I might have bumped up the CR.

I've been running pump E85 in my TA for a while now. No issues to speak of. All lines are PTFE. I get my E85 from Pearsons affiliated stations.

I occasionally fill my Tahoe with the same pump E85 and have noticed no ill effects
