upgrading the stillen kit will be getting the impeller upgraded + smaller pulley, you have the built motor so it may be good for it, others have blown their motor after doing the impeller upgrade, no one yet has done an e85 conversion with the impeller upgrade though.

9:1 compression is going to be really bad for the stillen kit, as others have said. I'd weigh up your pricing on upgrading the kit, you will already need to get larger fuel pump/injectors/impeller upgrade/different size pulley/re-tune.

No one has pushed the kit to 16/17psi, either go for it OR sell the kit and throw in some extra $$ to get a turbo kit to take advantage of your built engine.

what are your goals/ what kind of power do you want to produce? I've got no idea why guys in the US even go with the stillen kit over a turbo kit tbh, except for the CARB guys.
