E85 being the nature it is, Even if you have to run it rich at idle it wont affect the engine as much as 98. E.g. Fouling plugs etc. You should be fine. But is possible try and get a matched set as I have seen a few Indys that dont like to be driven at low injection pulse widths

Im running E85 and Indy blues, cold starts are fine, no probs just let the pressure build up in the lines on reds before cranking her over and she starts first go. Idle quality is fine, no probs with fouling, and also im running a lowish fuel pressure (cant remember exactly at the moment but its lower than usual) Also correct me if im wrong, but E85 being higher in oxygen, isnt the burn rate faster hence you need bigger injectors anyways.

Lower calorific value you use about 40% more
