Default E85 and NA

Curious who is out there doing it? I have a 416 with 11.6:1 compression and it doesn't quite like 93 on it's kill setting. Currently I'm running a sumped tank and an a1000 with -8 feed and 60lb injectors. Not sure what I need to change if anything besides the tune.

I know it is not common practice to run paper post filters, but if you change them often (every 3 months) I think you will be ok. The smallest stainless filter I know of is 25 microns which may cause issues.

Many people run both stainless but I have had injector problems in the past which may or may not have resulted from that. I have run paper for two years now with no issue. I just change them often.
