E85 help
E85 help Until now I've been set on going 93 with meth when needed. I'm starting to consider e85 now. I know it requires more fule to make the same power, but has benefits that make it worthwhile. What injectors and pump would I need to make 800whp give or take? Will a Walbro 450 be enough for the pump? I'm a newb to e85, bare with me please. This is for a turbo 347.

Not sure if one 450 will be enough. Fuel is one place its 100% acceptable to go way overboard. I run dual 340s, -8an feed/-6an return, aeromotive FPR, and 127lb injectors @58psi base pressure.
I maxed out my 80lb injectors just shy of 800whp, my 127s are in the 70% range making over 800whp.

Just to play it safe you are making the right choice. Fuel Injector Clinic has a nifty little tool that will help you calculate what you need as far as fuel flow. Just did a rough estimate and for your setup with E85 using 52 PSi base pressure (pulled that number out of a hat) you would need 91 lbs/hr injectors. You can then use that to calculate what is needed from the pump.

This is almost identical to my setup except I had 2000cc injectors @ 37psi base pressure. Dual 340's will work great and is what I have currently. Dual 255's got me up to 735whp but we didn't want to push further as I was out of injector(95lb) at that time and wanted more pump overhead.

Okay, thanks for the tip. I'm still on the fence about this. As I get closer to the build, I'm starting to get more extreme. I want to street drive the car, but not daily. There's a new gas station only a few miles away from me that sells e85 now. I'm just not sure if I want to always stock up on fule to have on hand, e85 goes faster than 93. But it's doable now, so I have a choice at least.
