You can run almost any compression rate with E85, its just the amount of timing you can dial in...

Most turbo motors run an effective compression ratio of well above 20:1 once you take into account the boost being a multiplier

Yes exactly. But if timing is stock it might be safer to keep compression lower to prevent detonation.

Isn't it?

I'm not sure where you're going here... If you are increasing the comp, timing will have to be set - if your timing is at stock settings, your engine set-up (and compression) should be pretty stock otherwise you'll have all sorts of issues with detonation due to Air Fuel Ratio's being different I would assume...

I can and have been wrong in the past - i do suspension, not engines lol

Yeh I can't remember what my point is. I'm just bored at uni trying not to fall asleep.

Lol, fair enough
