Yea e85 is going to happen for me as much as I'd like it to. The nearest station is 80+ miles from here. I've even talked to some local stations about possibly picking it up. No bueno.

I'm also all for methanol, but really considering if I even need it at my boost level. I figure if I turn it up anymore with the meth, that I will just push head gaskets.

Maybe I just need to sack up, and order a meth kit, studs, and gaskets. Then just crank it up until my little turbo taps out.

I did not push water with meth until 20 psi. rode 14 psi for a good while no problem. I would throw an Alky-control kit on it with a M15 nozzle , tune it for 11.5 to 1 air/fuel , 14 degrees timing, and 14 psi and enjoy daily!

I am on 12lbs on 93, some times 89-91, never a issue, plugs look fine. 11 psi is not enough for the need of meth unless your really trying to get every bit out of it in the timing/tune

Not related to the meth topic, but would a different cam profile with higher lsa help in crease advance? say 115-117Lsa range?

No, it would build more cyl pressure.
