On an NA setup, it's about $200 for the LU47 injectors, plus whatever your tuner may charge for an updated tune. For FI applications, the price will depend on which Injectors and Pump youre currently running.

Drastically lower fuel economy, which is somewhat offset by the lower cost of ethanol compared to premium.
You shouldn't store the car for long periods with ethanol in the tank. Ethanol is hygroscopic so it will draw moisture in from the air.
Harder to find than conventional gasoline.
Other than that? Nothing to worry about.

This..The smell of E85 vs gasoline when catless is worth the switch alone.
Hey buddy I see your in Gainesville! Where you get it locally? Know of anywhere in Williston? Do you perhaps drive a white 11 or 12 5.0?
Im out in texas for work right now, E85 all over the San Antonio area. I have no idea in Williston, but in Gainesville, the Almond Oil station on Newberry Road right by Royal Park has E85, it always tests at least 85%.
That is a way overblown issue on a late model car with a sealed modern fuel system, the fuel just won't be exposed to enough air for that to be a major concern. I would however err on the side of caution and make sure the tank is FULL if the car is going to be parked for a long time, if the tank is full there is no room for moisture absorption.
While fuel economy is worse I wouldn't say drastically so, at least in my case. I see around 3 MPG worse on avg for city/mixed. As far as finding it, its easy in Cypress, you can throw a rock and hit a station selling E85, but it does seem scarce for the rest of the Houston area/Katy etc.
Gotcha buddy. I know exactly where that is at. I work in Gainesville, but neither mustangs are my dd. I go more to Ocala when I drive the mustangs. I am just going to stick with 93 for the convenience. Thank for the info buddy.
Just re-angle the 02 sensor bungs.
How would I do that? I think I saw someone do it from TBR but it was a while ago..
Here is a picture of mine. Just cut the original bungs down and welded these 45 deg bungs on.

And you did that yourself?Here is a picture of mine. Just cut the original bungs down and welded these 45 deg bungs on.

Yes, except I had the welding done at a shop, but I cut down the original bungs and bought the new bungs. Cost me $70 bucks to have them welded on--summit has them for cheap.

Great! And just ordered the 47ib injectors as well from LMR. And true about the every bit counts!! People say e85 only adds 12-15.. But hell it adds up! Injectors should be here monday. I'll be sure to post an update about the car when it's all tuned up and filled with E85.
With e85 and more timing you should see that power across the entire curve.
