How many miles can you go on a tank of E85?

I know you can get a GM flexfuel sensor and wire it a after market ECU! After my exhaust cutout is done I am going to have FLI work on something! Having a LC1 wideband run to my Link ECU so it can adjust AFR. The flexfuel sensor will read the E85 reading and then adjust to that! I'm hoping it will work, then no worries on the tune!

I'm guessing you have a built motor? Wait you got some small 18g that don't make much power, would not be smart to run that much power on a stock motor. Can't compare numbers and say I gained this much power when you jumped 3psi and bumped the timing. I'm saying a true way to compare E85 to 91oct would be to run same PSI and similar timing and compare numbers! When you posted your post it was like 70whp and 90wtq difference. Going to get people excited thinking they are going to get gains like that! If you have a built motor you can do alot, why not try 25psi? I would think that turbo could handle more boost.......
But yeah.. it would be cool to see a direct comparison. I've been thinking about doing this when I have my motor rebuilt and I don't want to run a crazy set up... been thinking a 16g on a 2.1 L stroker running e85. Nothing crazy. Or even just a vf39 or vf34.
Oh.... and I gotta get you a check dude... You going to BAM? I can pay you now and just wait until BAM to get the battery... or pick it up during my family reunion in a couple weeks.

The main benefit to e85 is being able to push timing. You're gonna have to get a tune to run it anyways so you might as well optimize the tune for the fuel... so large gains can be expected...

Who cares, it's not going to poof of the earth! Easy to just buy a 55gallon drum!
