2.2 on E85

So I will be on 2.8 with ported s/c, 1.75 header with 2.5" DP, 2.5" catback, and ZZP CAI.

I want to go E85...will it pop?

What is the highest hp a 2.2 has seen (stock internal of course)

E85 won't roast it, at least not itself...

most of the time when people have E85 issues, it's either it's not running right and that blows it, or there isn't enough fuel volume and it leans out. on your particular car, it would be a pure guess, but i'd probably be damn sure your tuning can take it before you just fill up and redline it
