Completely on ethanol? If so, that would be a REALLY BAD idea right now. There isn't any real control over the fueling tables from a tuning perspective right now. Ethanol requires 30 to 40% more fuel than on regular gasoline. Direct injection engines have a high flow fueling system but it likely would not have that type of head room built into the stock system and not many direct injection aftermarket systems have been fully tested at this point.

So your quite a few steps ahead of where things are currently at right now.
