You can run a mix of E85, not 100% E85. I'm running approximately 25% E85 (12 gallons 93, 3-4 gallons E85) right now and I just put my JB4 in about a week ago. No complaints so far.

you can do map 7.
i run half a tank of E85 no problems it will however bring out the weakest link in your fueling system. if your coils, sparks and injectors arent in good condition you will misfire. |

i have run 100% e85 on the stock pump and it was fine on map 5 not reliable on map 7. would be fine if i had a walbro upgrade.
i generally run somewhere between e60-e70 with no problems. |
