I do it on mine.

Add a gallon of E85 and check your AFRs and short term trims. If they look okay add another.

Will it add timing? That's another thing to check

2% ethanol means 1% fuel trim, roughly. So if you go from e10 to e30 then the trims will run 10% higher than normal. Does that make them too high? Depends on where you started. If trims were near zero or negative then it’s probably ok.

But like @robvas implied, you might not gain power, depending on how the timing calibration is set up.

Might be able to drop a pulley size

So how would I go about checking my fuel trims and where I started by doing a datalog through the TDN app or how ? would I have to plug into a laptop and datalog through there on HPT?

You would need to use VCM Scanner on a laptop to capture a log.

Sounds like a lot of work for potentially no power gain doesn't it? LOL

 

[ZXMustang]

Yes you can. Straight up answer without guessing but having seen, tuned and tested this scenario.

 

[robvas]

Even if no more power you might be safer with the higher octane

He told you yes basically, get the app, go easy for a tank or 2
Make sure she feels good!
I love running E30! Solves basically all of the 1000HP cars fuel/burn needs

Tuners and fuel system companies hate this 1 simple trick!
