You'd also need a means of pumping more air into the engine, allowing for it
to expand, and getting more exhaust out of it.
After arranging those things, it wouldn't be the same engine.

that is just as powerful, if not more so...runs cooler, too, at equivalent
horsepower because of the greater latent heat of evaporation of ethanol
(marginal improvements for the 10-15% stuff). You need to think in terms of
stoichiometry, not energy per unit mass.
