Well, I ended up selling the car in my avatar so I guess I'll need to change my profile/ screen name.
This car came with some mods (Lingenfelter 750 package, E85 Flex Fuel, ARH headers, HRE wheels).
I believe I still need to get the blower and snout ported, and get the Kong intake.
I will add a larger heat exchanger system and likely get a larger cam for it also.
Thanks everyone. I took the car out last night to fill up with E85. This is the 1st car I've had with E85-- I had no idea it was so cheap compared to gas.
I got it for $1.89 per gallon.
I could definitely tell the difference when the E85 hit the tank. Now for some cooler weather.

I just did an E85 setup a few months ago on mine... and yes, I was pleased when I realized how cheap it is compared to 93. however, you will find that your gas mileage is now horrific. Granted, most of my driving is around town. Cost evens out, for certain, but we still get the benefit of more power.

I am probably using mine much like you. Mine will just be for blasting around the hwy and perhaps a trip to the track (over an hour away).
I saw where Fran from RPM in one of their videos said he suggested E85 levels around 50-60% to get the most out of HP gains and mileage.
I'll see where the sweet spot is ffor HP gain and mileage.

Mine was tuned at ~60% alky. Like you, I have a monitor (Dashlogic) to show me alky content, and with a full tank of E85, it is usually around 65-66%. I'll throw 93 in it shortly as we approach the winter months and I won't be driving it as much (and won't be able to take advantage of the extra power on cold pavement anyway).
