Who's running E85?
 
I woud like to know who is running e85 and what did they change and how big did they go on injectors and fuel pumps ? Im seriously thinking of converting my car over so i need all the info i can get from everyone. And if possible how much did they gain in trq/hp ? I have a custom grind comp cam 236/236 615/609 @ 115 lsa, also support mods ,ls6 intake,hsw plate kit 150 shot, #42 green tops and walbro 255 as of right now...So im wondering what all will i need to change and make e85 safely.also this a street/strip car not a dd

E85 requires 33% more fuel delivery to make the same power as with gas. If you are about 550-600 with your nitrous shot on gasoline you will need 730-800rwhp worth of fuel delivery to make the same power. One of our stage 3 street kits is the way to go dual pumps in the tank one runs the motor the second would kick on with your nitrous kit. The 42# injectors would be maxed on E85 as well I would rec. stepping up to 60#inj. Any other questions feel free to give me a call I will help you out.

Yes new lines are in order. We do offer complete custom kits to fit your setup requirements. Give me a call I will get you an idea of what you need to do it.

E85 is the way to go if you can afford it. It does require a compatible fuel pump(s) and fuel lines. You should also check your fuel filter frequently for the first couple hundred miles as a number of people have had sludge from their gas tank break free and clog the filters fairly quickly.

If they filtered to the right micron and could support the correct fuel pressure I don't see why you couldn't... but why? Cheaper?
