First thing depending on your plans with the car ditch your 3:73 gears and get a lower set 3:08-3:31 range area. Injector size depends on your hp goal. If you wanting to stay around 550-600 a set of 80lb injectors should work with e-85. If you want higher hp your better off going to a low imp injector and buy a driver unless you wanna spend $1,000 on some 120lb bosch. Pretty much need to know your goals of the car before anyone can answer your questions.

ok, i could change those gears NP, i think 600hp is great for an all stock5.3 . i just need more guiding on how to tune e85, and ill work my way for bigger power. im really looking for good info in upgrading the fuel system, lines,fuelcell,etc. and stock PCM tune for e85. this is my first start on a lsx budget build trying out the waters. thanks
