I know some of you were interested in this considering the detonation resistance of 105 octane. You should be awaire though that the like gasoline, different winter blends cause different properties, apparently w/ e85 it's a 70% ethanol 30% gasoline blend. Anyway, check this out for tuning properties, I know it's a subie site but just try and overlook that;

Technically it's supposed to be 85% ethanol (hence the E85) and 15% gasoline. I'm not sure what the mixture really ends up being straight out of the pump though. I do know that after watching a show about hypothetically converting vehicles, it didn't look that hard. Basically, you need some coated gas lines, different piston rings, and a fuel map that's been richened up quite a bit (allow for tuning). The ethanol is corrosive to the regular gasoline engine parts, thus the reason for the coatings.
