Default Re: E85 Powered VR4?

To get back on topic, Do you guys think building an engine from ground up to
run on E85 could run higher compression with turbos?
How about 10:1 compression with WRX 19T TD04HL turbos?
Do you think I could push 26 psi boost on a setup like that with E85
with its anti knock ability? This is getting close to a diesel turbo engine.
Put stage 3 heads on it to flow better it could be a wild street car.
Of course if it worked you would be in a world of hurt if one put 93 premium in it.

But my thought is to optimize the setup from the ground up to maximize E85
fuel for street use. Thoughts? AEM would be a must for something like this.
