Any issues running alcohol and e85?

Just that it goes rich fast and you'll want an aftermarket Ecu to control as much as possible, that includes turning on the pump.

I have my single pre turbo on the car (turbo was maxed) but even that went pig rich and would've needed a big VE tweak to lean out.

I figured as much Thanks

Not necessary. The fuel itself provides the cooling the injection of an additional fluid would provide. It's superior to water injection by far, and alky injection just creates a rich condition that's poorly controlled. E85 is alcohol. You have six alky injectors. A seventh is just going to create complications.

Water/alky injection is a hack. They're "solutions" to a system with insufficient thermal management. Running alcohol itself as the fuel does it all for you. It doesn't need more help.

I made the switch to e85 back in 2006, at that time the cars still had alky on them and I had it turned on at a low setting. After a while I removed it just to de-clutter the cars and get rid of it. The pumps were only gonna do one thing anyways. Quit working.

With E85 you can make enough power & pressure to push the heads right off a 109 and never be anywhere even remotely close to detonation. Lotsa fuel, lotsa boost, and low timing will get it done and she’ll stay together just fine. Adding methanol doesn’t really help anything when there’s no detonation in the way.

No issues whatsoever.
Colder denser air creates the opportunity to make more power.
E85 does not cool the air charge
Running alky through the up pipe does.
Nozzle size and adjusting the curve will yield gains.
But the time has to be put in.

All one has to do is look at intake charge temps and you will quickly realize how you intercooler is doing.
