Default What injectors for 850whp on E85?

I'm planning to run 850-900whp on 383ci with TC78 and stock PCM. I think E85 would be safer so I will be running it. What size injectors would I need? Would some 96lb be OK? I don't want to spend 300$ for driver box, so want to stay with high-impedance.
Please advice

96# may cut it but for that power I would suggest 120# injectors. I can do a driver box and injectors for $749.99.

120lb injectors with a driver box is about the only way. E85 needs a whole lotta fuel to make it work so fuel systems tend to get more expensive quicker.

900 hp on e85 is like 1200hp on gasoline. 96# injectors are dangerous at this level, you should go with 120's

+1 for the 120's

Although still a little fat on a shakedown tune, I was 82% duty cycle running 120's at 65psi (737rwp through a high stall TH400).
I am going to bump the base fuel pressure when I start dialing in the street tune to give me some additional head room.

Per the RC Engineering's calculator (http://rceng.com/technical.aspx)
80's are good for around 700 flywheel,
and 90's are good for around 800 flywheel @ 60psi base
You could of course bump the base pressure to get more out of them.
E85 uses a bunch of fuel, and I would offer two suggestions.
Either lower your HP goals for now due to budget constraints,
or save up to buy the correct parts required.
Running an FI engine lean will cost you thousands to rebuild the engine, so don't skimp on the fuel system.

Good luck.
