Default Injector sizing E85

I am needing to start shopping for some injectors, I am going to run E85 and with twin 70's I would guess maybe 1100 hp. What size (and brand) should I be looking for? Also what kind of fuel pressure?

I'm just guessing 1100 flywheel, basically whatever the turbos will give me. This is a 5.3.

I have a buddy with some 120's but I don't think they will be enough.

You can use FIC 2000's. They are cheaper. I run the IDs and for a large injector they tuned great. Idle is perfect.

FIC2000's are a little over a grand.

I went with Trick Flow 120's and a Versafueler for 900rw on E for this spring but currently using 95's around 800rwhp.

Some used low imp 160's and a used Versafueler is probably the cheapest solution but the FIC 1600 or 2000's are lot easier.

The cheapest solution is the way I did it. lol Used 160 low impedence. $17 resistors in line with the injectors instead of a $400 driver box, and I run 50 psi base pressure. The base pressure is something that you will just have to mess with. Like Denmah said, 60psi is what I started with but car ran and idled much better at 50psi. Plus with the huge injectors you don't need as much fuel pressure.

Thanks Guys. Wicked that is most likely the route I will go.

How do these look, anyone using them?

I have 95s with E85 and about 650-700 wheel. At 22Psi (boost) and 65psi (fuel, base + 22), I only logged 80ish % duty cycle. Check out a mustang forum or yellowbullet, low imp 160s pop up all the time and that would be enough cushion. Just get some resistors and rock out.
