I understand the theory about raising compression and cylinder pressure and heat when using gasoline but, we are talking E85 here.
E85 doesn't change the theory, it just allows you to run a higher compression ratio before knock. To use your findings, E85 at 30psi with an 8:1 comp will make more power than E85 at 23psi with a 9.5:1 comp.
And you are running a TE44 with a different comp housing than me, you shouldn't have a problem with spool up negating the need for a higher static compression ratio. Want more power, add more timing, get those heads ported and add a roller cam.
