For my car I increased the injectors from 39#'s to 60#'s and added a KB boost-a-pump due to a ~40% increase in fuel consumption under WOT. I mainly switched to it since i am still on the stock long block.

here is a decent article on E-85 vs gasoline comparison.

The only thing i can complain about is when i cold start it. the car typically won't fire up for like 7-8 seconds when it is cooler outside. it could be a bit of a tuning issue?? im not sure. im going to datalog my car soon to try to fix this issue, other than that i love it. only ~2.20 per gallon and 105 octane. it seems to be good stuff
