to second Andrew025, you can run E85 with only a tune (OFT is only like $500 and has OTS E85 tunes), no kit required. On an otherwise-stock car, it's a noticeable kick in the pants. But its real value is in FI setups--it allows for a HUGE increase in power. As in, kits that run 280whp on pump 93 can put out 400+hp when tuned for E85.
