However you get more horsepower, more horsepower is worse than less horepsepower on all parts of a car. It's more stress and torque on everything. I hope that answers the question.

However not all HP is equal! A small turbo running 20psi making 400hp is more dangerous than a larger turbo running 15psi also at 400hp.

E85 scares me for a power adder because e85 greatly changes through the year. E85 friends carry an alcohol tester around for every fill up. If they're getting e70 then they back off because they lose their timing buffer. where if they knock at 25* so they run 23* on e85 but e70 would mean they'd knock at 24* or even 23*, it's now become a dangerous tune. With no buffer bad things can happen.
