Switched to E85 in my NA daily driver.

I just started running E85 in my 1990 wagon. Stuck in 550 injectors, a modified MAF to flow more air versus signal, and am using a PerfectPower6 to tune with. The combination of the bigger injectors and larger MAF seems to be working very well with little correction needed.
However I am doing to dyno tune it next week (maybe if I have time) and fine tune it. Right now I am using feel and the stock O2 sensor to tune it.
This is an NA car for now.

E85 is the ethenol based fuel which is 70 to 85% ethenol, the remainder is gas. 105 octane on average.

Doesn't it also corrode the crap out of injectors, pumps, and fuel lines designed for gasoline?

Yes, I also read that it disintegrates certain rubber seals in the fuel system, so auto manufacturers had to totally re-vamp the fuel system from tank to injectors.
You might want to read up on that Doug, as I would hate for you to have to re-do the whole fuel system.

Methenol is the super corrosive one.
