I think there used to be a tread on this, before they switched servers, There was someone I don't remember who, who said he was running 10.1 and alcohol and it was fine, however I the more compression you got, the more power you'll make, I don't really think there is a minimum compression ratio, just optimum...

You can run alky in a 8.6:1 360 motor just fine, a friend of mine did it for years. More compression makes more power, but it's not a must. You will have to get a smaller radiator for a low compression motor so that you can build some heat.
