Larger injectors than the LM7 and you get the ability to run e85. Make sure you get the flexfuel sensor if you plan on having e85 capability though, as those sensors are expensive. Theres not really a lot of benefit to getting a l59. Well except for pulling up to a e85 pump and putting it into a car that was definently not e85 capable from the factory and having everyone freak
. There are also not any drawbacks that I can think of. Running a tank of e85 every once in a while is a good way to clean the fuel system and injectors though, just watch out cause it tends to plug up a fuel filter a lot faster than a car that just runs plain gas.
