so in 15min you took the head off cleaned everything and put it back together? You know it takes a much larger volume of fuel to rin e85 right?

running from gas to e85, should be tuned for the differenct in gas used, otherwise it isn't going to run right and may cause engine failure

if both motor set ups arn't the EXACT same, the map won't work properly with yours.

If the engine is mechanically clean and timing and all is spot on then you have problems with ECU or electrical. Any codes?.. well, your tuner would have noticed a CEL.

Sounds a bit like pre-ignition, where the mixture is combusting too soon during the compression cycle. It will cause the cylinder to heat up even more, like a downward spiral that robs power when you want it.

Then again, you might have ruined the O2 sensor running that E85 through there.
