For most of us locals who run strictly e85, I don't see a downside to running higher compression.

We all run our turbos at MAX boost anyway since we are on E85, so if you are building the motor anyway, mind as well do higher compression.

If you are in fact doing a straight race/drag motor then yea you might be better off with lower comp more boost, but us street guys it seems like a no brainer.
