Default E85

I am still getting acquainted with my Cobra, which supposedly has a 475 ci all-aluminum shelby stroker engine, with close to 12:1 compression. It runs terrific on the Sunoco 110 I have been shelling out the big bucks for, but I am tired of running to the local race garage to fill up my fuel jugs, especially at $9.25/ gallon.

I live in South Dakota, and E85 is plentiful. I am really thinking the smart move would be to convert to E85. Does anybody know of any reason why I shouldn't? This is the carb I am looking at:

I am getting 4+ psi on the fuel pressure gauge, just with the mechanical pump, and when I hit the switch for the electrics, I get 6-7 psi. My thought is I could probably run the mechanical alone 90% of the time, and then just hit the switch for the electrics when I plan to be mashing on the gas more... Which is what I have been doing now. Is there anything else I need to do to convert to E85? Are there other aluminum FEs out there running E85? I did a search, and didn't see much info on this.
