Switch to E85

So is there a "tried and true" E85 conversion when using a gasoline gauge?

No just like Gas there's no one size fits all A/F.

Again, I tune a few hundred turbo 4cly a year and most are on E85(400-600whp), i have plenty of experience with it. Stick in the 11.5-12.0 range for your low boost V8 and you'll be fine.
