Default RE: I converted a glow engine to run on E85

To summarize: E85 with about 10%-15% high quality oil be it a synthetic or castor and a "hot" plug to keep this mixture lit. A leaner mixture setting to account for gasoline's higher heat content/volume compared to alcohol. Does this come close to getting a glow engine to work with this new mix? Is adding some nitro a good idea to keep power up and have good throttle characteristics?
Thanks, Greg
