Default E85 and NA

Curious who is out there doing it? I have a 416 with 11.6:1 compression and it doesn't quite like 93 on it's kill setting. Currently I'm running a sumped tank and an a1000 with -8 feed and 60lb injectors. Not sure what I need to change if anything besides the tune.

I know it is not common practice to run paper post filters, but if you change them often (every 3 months) I think you will be ok. The smallest stainless filter I know of is 25 microns which may cause issues.

Many people run both stainless but I have had injector problems in the past which may or may not have resulted from that. I have run paper for two years now with no issue. I just change them often.

Ive run paper and stainless and had better luck with the paper actually. ran them for years and never had any problems. Ive also ran E85 in my LS cars, and currently run it in my bolt on 00 z. Stock motor with LT's, exhaust, 100mm lid and running a 1 bar SD OS with HP Tuners. Car runs like mad with 13.0:1 AFRs and 28-29* timing. Though Im out of stock 26# injector already with 115%DC!
