It is VERY hard to believe that someone could be producing 1700* EGTs at only 11.5:1. If that were the case, then we would have melted our pistons.
We've all heard of guys melting parts on gasoline - anyone ever seen that happen with E85? "

Pistons do not melt from 1700 degree EGTs.
E85 spools turbos faster because of why? Guess what more of that stuff that spools turbos faster can do to EGTs.
