By the time you are done spending the money on a good blow thru E85 carb, You'd be more than half way to buying your fuel injected setup.

I dunno. If I could doit again, id go Carb E85. The fuel pumps, injectors, fittings, and fel rails end up way more on the efi setup. Kinda depends on your power goals. things get expnsive real quick with E85 around 900rwhp. you start needing double everything.
