Like already said its just fine for the O2s, in fact assuming its fully burned like it should be, it probably hurts your O2s less if anything since it burns so much cleaner. The bigger issue is making sure the car is set up right for E85, but I'm guessing you're already aware of that

Yeh, I gotta call Aeromotive and Aeroquip to see if the hose and pump are E85 compatible. ANd I need some 60lb injectors.
