Default Nitrous + E85 on a FFV

My truck has the flex fuel engine and I'm curious if I will benefit using E85 with my NX Proton Plus system. I'm planning to start out with 75 hp and max out at 100 hp. Any thoughts or advice?

E85 will only help you. The added octane will be beneficial once you start dialing in the tune.

Make sure to jet the fuel side accordingly if your gonna be using e85. NX can supply you with the right info... Remember also if you ever want to spray on reg 93 your gonna have to change the fuel jet back.

Cool. The thing is my fuel system is 58 psi ~2, and according to the 60 psi charts the gasoline and the e85 jet are only off by 1 or 2 numbers for the 75 and 100 hp shots.
