I would stay on top of your injector Duty Cycle, knock and Air Fuel Ratio. I am not sure if I trust the Scanmaster in this regard with the mixing of E85, a wideband would be best to find the right mix to give you the proper AF/R.
E-85 acts like 105 but trust me is better than 105 for the simple fact that the cooling effect is greater than the race gas equivilent.

I've been using the narrow band sensor just fine for E-85 for over 10,000 miles. There is no reason to make running E-85 harder than it is.. there is no black majic too it. Yes a WB is better in any case gas or alcohol

I've been running an effective E-70 mixture buy mixing some 87 with the E-85 and run 22-23 lbs of boost with 26 degrees of timing
