Check your manual. But I would believe no.

You'd need tuning for it. The S55 JB4 includes E85 support using mixtures from 30-50%.

Cool. Im not a big fan of mixes, maybe just because i don't know much about it. But I'm hoping for tunes that are strictly designed for 91-93 and for straight E85. A Map one and Map two kind of deal.

Im hoping to get a tune that offers me max power for these.

The DME won't support straight E85. To mix you just pump in say 5 gallons of E85 and the rest 93.
