I wish we could get in Cal, but there are no commercial stations...

Get the latest Car Craft, they have all the info that you'll need.
A 355 w/10:1 compression and 12psi of boost from a Magnuson 122 blower = 601hp on the dyno.
They give carb info, jet/air bleed #s. It's really a good article.

Check it out and see what you think.

No, I haven't!

The biggest problem with E85 is availability!!

And I live in Columbia, MO where the last time I looked, I think it was only $1.69/gallon today!!

You need to decide if you want to build a dedicated E85 S/C engine or not and go from there!! I say this b/c it's good to like 13.5 to 1 CR N/A...

It might be cheaper per gallon but it burns more. It's great for the octane rating but you won't be saving anything at the pump.
