Default Thinking about converting over to E10

A bunch of E10 stations are popping up all over around me, so I'm considering switching to it. What is involved in it? Will my walbro 255lph pump and 32lb injectors suffice? Any other help or write ups are much appreciated.

You do know that most stations can put up to 10% eth. in their gasoline right? That IS E10. you should be fine stoich for E10 is ~14.13 though. A adjusted tune for your closed loop functions could help.

I have read on the interwebs that you need an A1000 fuel pump and 60# injectors for E10.

Edit: You could probably get away with 4 walbro 255's. Two in-tank and two in-line.

all the gas stations around me for the last 2-3 years have had 10% ethanol, but now the intrawebz and news are saying that they're gonna go to 15% and kill all of our motors, oh my gawd.
