well with E85 I have been told you need to run a global percentage increase of fuel on your entire map just by having E85.

As for the specific AF ratio using google...
I came up with this "E85 requires 39% more fuel to reach stoich"
as for the Stoich value on your AF meter your looking for 9.8:1

so under boost youl be needing bigger injectors..

It is NOT a global change. E85 percent change is dependant on the injectors and the BSFC of the engine.
