Results will be unpredictable. The stock injector CC size is not large enough to deliver enough E85 to correctly fuel the engine.
I know a guy in SOCAL who converted his Nissan V8 (VH45DE) to run E85 by installing injectors that are much larger than the stock injector. The drawback is the car is now locked into always requiring E85 fuel. Our cars are not flex fuel vehicles that can run both E85 and non-E85 fuel types.
Stick with Premium fuel as recommended and displayed on the back of the fuel door.

^This. If it runs at all it will be so lean you will overheat and melt a piston. Alcohol engines burn roughly twice the fuel as gasoline. That's why alcohol is a false economy and environmentally unsound.
The amount of energy put into alcohol production will never be realized while burning it. Like it or not gasoline is the most efficient fuel available right now.
