Default Tuning on E85?

Im looking to see if anybody else ahs been tuned on the corn fuel (maybe its just a midwest thing )

I have a few friends that have been tuned with it on turbo and NA applications and Im looking to see if theres any s2k guys running it.

check the evo forum (evolutionm.net) lots of info on there. Basically you need a hefty fuel system and the ability to switch maps on the fly incase you run into a situation where you cant get e85.

It's cheaper, it makes more power compared to pump because you can run a lot more boost (octane) and the cooling effect it has. It does make you get worst gas mileage.
