Thread: Intercooled vs. e85

But I almost never see an intercooled E85 setup - I'm asking if there's some reason for this? Usually I see either E85 or intercooler, but not both. Like does the formula resist detonation too much and cause spark issues or something else I'm currently unaware of?

Because if not, it appears to me the only thing keeping me from going intercooled and E85 with a tiny pulley is that I'd be stretching drive chains.
