If you're tuning an engine on the ragged edge, yeah I definitely agree. Although fooling the ecu to dump additional fuel sounds pretty outragious, it's something that's been done to fairly good success both with the TBI based systems now as well as other variations of automotive tuning.

It's certainly doable and there's a slew of people running these things successfully on e85.

That said I thing right now for this thread, the point is moot. This gentleman's engine isn't going to be a good candidate for e85 anyhow.
