Default E85 smoke

i switched to E85 and as long as I have had E85 in the tank sometimes there is white smoke out the exhaust that smells like E85, is this normal? It does it even after going up to operating temp. I was thinking the tune is a little too rich as its still being worked on.

Get the tune right and see where your at.
Question, do you have e85 injectors and pump?

It's probably steam from the moisture E85 absorbs. If so, that's normal.
