You'll also need to get the sensors and stuff if you plan on running regular gas and e85. I priced out the parts for it like a year ago and it was ~$150 for everything. Seemed pretty simple to setup as well. There's a guide on a GTO or G8 board somewhere.

Fuel pump is fine. If you want a true flex fuel conversion than yea you'll want a foe fuel sensor and the wring kit to hook up so you can run any mixture of e85 or gas this method does require dissassemblt of the pcm harness plug

Search dsteck flex fuel install

If I swap over imma only run e85 there is a station like a mile from my house that sells it

91,So ive read that e85 uses like 30% more fuel if this is true statement you think my stock fuel pump will be able to keep up? And also how difficult is the tuning for the e85 was wondering if the guy that tuned my car could do it or do I need someone who messes with e85 to do the tune

Simple as switching the stoic value putting the proper injector data in. Preferably another factory gm injector with bigger sizing. I.e flex fuel trucks or Vette ones. As they will have the most reliable data to plug and play, them go play around with timing increases, and add a little to your cold start areas and your golden

Your pump can keep up for sure. Although I have AEM pump now. The stocker can support the turbo cars apparently with no issue

so what size injectors? would it be like 42lbs? or just find some stock ones off a 5.3 flex fuel tahoe or something

42 will work just fine flex fuels are cheaper there rated at 50 # and you can pick them for brand new pretty cheap

Burns clean allows more timing keeps motor cooler it burns a lot faster though so mileage goes down but for long term benefits it's awesome city mileage is realivley the same highway trips though
