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.

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.
