Anyone have experience with E85 conversion on NA 2015+ Mustang GT?

Long overdue update. Sorry. Thanks for everyone's help. I have now driven a full oil change on my current E85 setup, and I am loving it. I ended up not going with a flex fuel tune, went with a straight E85 tune (and another straight 93 octane tune) from Blankenship Tuning. Figured that would be the best option to get the most performance considering I did the GT350 IM swap at the same time. Car runs like a rocket, and I have no quams about revving well into the 7000+ rpm range. Havent been on the track yet, but, red light to red light around town, I haven't found any NA cars that have given me any problems! :)

we got ballsie on the dyno and ran it all the way up to 7600rpm. It was still holding 426hp and 393tq at that rpm. That was a little scary for me tho! I have my shift light set at 7300. I feel comfortable there.

I have some build pics and some run videos. I can post them as soon as I figure out how. Im not very Forum savvy.

Thank for starting this thread but what are the hp gains when going to E85 on a N/A setup?
I am not sure what HP gains I got from just the E85, but with the tune/E85/GT350 intake swap I ended up with 423/374 at the wheel on a Mustang Dyno.

My buddy with the exact same setup minus the GT350 intake, ended up with 416

Why is it these vendors haven't figured out a way to incorporate a true ethanol content sensor with these flex tunes? I don't like relying on the O2s for econtent % changes. Hijack a useless ECU input and run a GM 5v sensor to this input. Then write the code / tables in the ECU for the reading.
