Tune would be way off.

E85 flow requirements are approx 30% over gasoline
Methanol is double the flow

You will likely need different injectors, tune & fuel system to support the added flow needs.

I have enough pump,injector and corresponding hardware to support the flow requirements of alcohol but was wondering how much better it would be than e-85 at the track.
I won't go with a A2W IC and really don't want to run an IC at all is why I am leaning towards running M5 at the track.
