Default Switching to E85, couple of questions.

Making the move to E85. I think the things I need to change are:

Injector flow (moving to 60lbs from 36's, was seeing 93% idc)

VE table by 30% (I'm in speed density 24/7. I do not use narrow bands. STFT and LTFT are both disabled)

PE multiplier from 1.143 to 1.225 (my starting point)
Gas stoich being 14.7 / 12.86 = 1.143
E85 stoich being 9.765 / 7.72 = 1.265 (rich e85 6.975 / lean side 8.4687.. 7.72 being middle of the road)

Anything I am missing?

I am not sure if I would change any of the values in the VE table. The VE table is airflow, so changing to E85 should not affect the VE. I would change the commanded AFR table to reflect the desired AFR.
