Default ?'s about E85..

Hey guys, I'm new to the site/forums, My names Jarrod. I bought a 2010 Scion tC about 5 months ago and had my fun with her, but I would like to boost her power. I was thinking about a turbo kit, but I decided to wait on that.
I've heard a lot about running E85 and getting quite a bit of power just from that. I know I need bigger injectors and a tune and wanted to know what tune I need.

Any help with this would be great! Thanks guys!

To get a tune, you must first get a Piggyback to tune with. Unlike VW cars or Dodge and Fords or any other manufacture that allow you to flash the factory ECU....our cars are made by Toyota. Toyota does not allow their ECU's to be flashed or reprogrammed outside of their own TRD programming. And you need a good amount of injector and possible fuel pump change to run E85. And quiet honestly, it's a waste of time if you don't have a turbo system already on the car.

yup what rhythmnsmoke said.. lots of head not forced induced. I mean you won't get that much benefit from it from all the trouble of conversion
