Converting to E85

Has anyone tried to install a chip ( ECU module) and convert to accept E85 gas? I see these available for our cars and I know from doing my vette that it does increase the power substantially. I am going to do it once I boost but was wondering if anyone has done it with the N/A motor

you get an increase of power up to 17% plus better gas mileage ( if you're not getting on it )

Just talked to the company. They said the hp/tq goes up almost 20%, even though we are driving ULEV ( ultra low emission vehicle) , the emissions decrease 30-70% more, plus its american made fuel, and other minor benefits... I'll do it and post an install video within a week or so... can't hurt, this company is very legitimate.
