Feedback type fuel injection systems are idea candiates for using E85.  50% Larger fuel injectors are required, and an increase in ignition timing to compensate for the slower burning of the E85.  The feedback narrow band O2 sensor is a Lambda O2 and does not need to know what stoichiometric is, the sensor looks for the most O2 in the exhaust and the engine controller makes all the appropriate fuel calculations for the new fuel.  The larger fuel injectors and no engine controller modifications will prevent you from running dual fuel, as in gasoline OR E85, or a mixture of the 2.
