Full E85 setup

Anyone running Full e85, I'm not asking for gains because I know what you can make off e30,e40,e50 tune already. Not the question or advice I'm looking for. My question is If anyone is full e85 on 2port or 4 port Aux fuel? Have any issues? Did you need to add other items to successfully run Full e85?

Reason I'm asking have tons of e85 stations around me and I don't feel like mixing. Also it's cheaper than getting a HPFP and bigger injectors.

I had a cp-e catted pipe (200 cell I believe) which caused this code. I had to add a j-spacer to the secondary o2 sensor to fix it.

That’s exactly what I did and it did fix that code, thank you for replying earlier
I’m still all good running e85. Now that it’s getting colder and frost is upon us it take a bit more to stray in the morning but nothing after that.
Very happy with it. We are also into winter blend e85 so im very happy I went flex fuel and not a rail and e85 tune.

In East Tennessee last year, the available E85 only tested between 50 to 65 percent ethanol.
What percentage of ethanol is your E85?

I am lucky a station that just got built is well known to never test below e83 that being said all the others by me are e50-70. But that does not matter as my car is setup as true flex fuel. I can do 93-e85 or anything in between with the same tune. No reflash. So for me it’s easy hence why I went that route.

How’s the e85 holding up? Still running like a dream. I have P0171 lean at idle and I can’t for the life of me figure it out
Hey sorry, never saw this.

I kept pushing and blew the head gasket and melted the block and head. Am now finally breaking in a mountune hp shortblock on e85. Pulls harder already on exact same setup and low boost. I’m happy. Just want to track the thing already lol.

Only codes I ever had were related to the battery and exhaust valve and overheating lol

P0171 is thrown by the front O2 sensor.
The lean condition can be caused by

leak between cat to manifold
Pcv valve issue (common)
Vacuum leak or cracked pipes
