Default E85 Injectors

What size injectors would I need should I decide to run E85?

408ci making about 520 rwhp on 93.
running 42 lb green tops (around 52 at 58 psi) getting to maybe 65-70% DC.
Walbro 255

Would these green tops suffice? What size would I need if not?

Also, I spray a 200 wet shot....

You will be on the very very top of those injectors. Go 60# to keep the DC 80-85%. I am running green tops (518rwhp) and the are maxed out. I will be going to 60's here pretty soon.

Also, you may want to run a dual pump system. The 255 is maxed out with green tops are maxed out. May be a good idea to kick on the second pump the a TPS threshold is reached and add a timer to prevent short cycling the pump.

Sounds like more trouble than it's worth at this point. The closest pump is 20 miles from me anyways.
