Default E-85 and HP Tuners

I know their is a thread on Flex fuel. However I'm not interested in running a sensor. I would like to know if I can tune the HP to run on E-85 with only adding fuel and changing the Lamda number.
I know on my last race car I just programed at WOT for it to maintain 9.5 and it was different at idle. In my area the fuel does not swing much after they switch to summer blend. I ask because I have never tuned HP my last was Holley Dominator. My car has two small rear mounted turbos and will be getting a Brian Tooley Stage 1 Twin Turbo cam kit.
Thank you for any help.

Pretty much all you do is just change stoich to 9.7. My stoich is 14.63 i changed it 9.7. The only difference was like you said the idle changed but wasn't that bad. I didn't have the injectors to run e85 so i switched back. I'm sure you might have to tweak here and there.

Yes you can set the idle / partial aft target and just run e85 perm. You probably want a sensor that tells you what % the gas is just in case.

Thank you for the replies. The injectors are green top I believe they are 42 pound per hour. I figured it might need a different fuel system but will have to see. I have no idea on how HP Tuners works but will have to learn.
