Plus the drivability on the car sucked with e85. So I don't know if changing to 13:1 compression had anything to do with the drivability issue but I will not be running e85 again.

Good! Just leaves more for us!

Because most sanctioning bodies don't allow it. They consider it cheating.

They have been doing that shit for years on E85 as well.
Here's one of my good friends street car.

That would honestly be a question for Clint as to why they don't run it. Plus E85 only gives around 105 octane, and those guys are wanting like 120.

No. It's because most races won't allow it.

Doesn't matter even if it were E70. It will still make more power and be more consistent.
BTW: I wouldn't run Torco in my lawnmower!
Unless you want your heads to look like this from all the MMT.
Or your plugs to look like this.
