Depending on your power output you may only need a tune or if you don't want to worry about how much Ethanol is in the tank a Flex Fuel conversion and tune. You could get the tune and just have them make sure your below 85% Injector Duty Cycle while using E85. If your below you don't need injectors. If your above get the L9H injectors which are cheap, a OEM part, will idle and drive perfect, and have injector data available.

IMO e85 is well worth it on a FI motor, as long as your fuel system can handle it. Make sure your components are e85 compatible (from the injectors, to the lines, and the fuel pumps).

Could you add e-85 to a half tank of 93 octane and not have any problems. Would you see any performance increase? Would it be like running race fuel once in a while?

With a flex fuel setup sure. Without any changes, no. It would lean the car out and be unsafe. You need 30% more fuel, so even if you mixed it to be e40-e50 you would still need 15-20% more fuel.
