Default Tuning for e85

So I'm thinking of making the switch to e85. I run a speed density, open loop tune. I'm just going out on a limb here and guessing all I'll really need to change to drive it is my VE table right?

Most injector data is built for gasoline. You might want to look into that.

Whether injectors flow differently on E85 vs E0....because I don't know.

In it's simplest form to run e85 requires only changing the stoich value. From there increase timing (~4deg extra is a good start). Check VE. That's the basics anyway.
