The extra 15% gas bumps the stoich up to 10:1, and I believe the OEMs and the university teams(that converted vehicles to e-85) found the best results at 10.7:1.I've also read that the 15% gas reduces the energy difference to 27%, so e-85 only contains 27% less than normal fuel.
The only thing I'm concerned about is the potential problems with fuel lines, rails, etc.E-85 is somewhat corrosive and also conducts electricity(gas does not), so that can lead to galvanic reactions in aluminum and you have to make sure the fuel pump is electrically shielded.Rubber seals need to be swapped over to teflon(or similar) also.I'm all over it though, I want to be running e-85 in the next couple weeks.
