Using the stock turbo with that compression on 20lbs would be easy and make some serious power.

Yes! that would be sick. i posted before on cars needing to be dedicated engines to take advantage of e85, not a flex fuel vehicle built to run on 87 octane! The higher compression allows for be efficiency and fuel mileage!
i saw an article in a mag. that had a stroked 6.0 making 530hp N/A, 10.2:1 CR and with e85 they put 13 psi to it and got 850hp!
