I'm sure it is!!! Lucas always tunes conservative so i really don't think its anything dangerous there was zero knock and timing was good so i'm sure its fine!!
E-85 is weird stuff but they check the plugs after the pulls and made sure everything was fine.. So i wouldn't be concerned Lucas wouldn't of let a high dollar build like this leave his shop untill its perfect.. And Justin helped him out, between the two of them i don't think it would of left unsafe..

Given I am not at altitude, but I found no power change from 11.8 to 12.8 on E85, on three different cars.
E85 is a funny little fuel, it is a pump fuel that you can go beyond MBT with so you have to be careful not to be greedy with it.
Rods and other motor bits can leave the building without the aid of knock.

I wish I knew more about tuning! It's almost as if my tune is this way because I have a single pump and 1000 cc injectors, but on dual walbros and 1200's I am just dumbfounded at 13.0 afr's... do you get more power leaning out the tune? Again wish I knew more about tuning!

13.0 may not knock but internal engine combustions temps will go up as a result of that lean of an afr.. Valve's wont be to happy for long, I know from experience.
