Default injectors for 93 and e85 street car?

This is my first time using e85 and fuel injection and I'm not too sure as to what injectors would be good for 93 and e85? The car would mostly be driven on 93 sense the closest e85 is an hour away but would like to be able to hit the track with the e85 on weekends. Another thing I'm not to sure about is would the tank have to be drained before filling it with e85 I've been told it does but then have heard of people doing a mix of e85 and 93?

The engine is a 408ci with a s480 would love to hit 700hp right out of the garage but the long term goal is to break 1000 I guess it's mostly to be a dyno queen but my end goal is to have a car that can do a little of everything from 1/4 mile to autocross to a nice drive around town
thanks for any help
Jesse

80 lb injectors for 93. Something around 120 lbs for E85. Get a good pump that can keep up.

Yes, you need to drain the tank before running E85, because your tune will depend on it. Unless you can get an exact even mixture every time, it won't be worth the effort.

I agree with Joe.

Also, if you run a flex fuel sensor, you won't have to drain the tank.

What I do is get it as close to empty as possible, put a couple gallons in it, drive it easy because the ltft's will correct afr's, couple more gallons, drive it, then fill it up. Time consuming but easier than dropping the tank

I would do Fuel Injector CLINIC, and go with a set of their 1650cc injectors, they are made specifically for E85.
