Default The E85 Mystery

Alright, so how come people can "safely" operate their Zs up to 600+WHP with E85 but for regular fuel of octane 91-93 it's only "safe" up to 550WHP?

Regardless of the type of fuel used if the resulting power is equal then the rods will be pushed just as hard (right?). VQ internals are supposedly good up to 550WHP so what's up with this physics defying e85 creating a double standard of limits of engine integrity?

Cheers
