How to convert over to E85 on my 383 lt1 Okay Im looking to convert my 95 z28 383 lt1 over to E85... Right now i have a vorecth supercharger pushing 10psi 56# injectors with two fuel pumps. I heard on e85 i need to change the fuel pumps,lines,etc,etc... so for all those running or converted to e85 on their lt1s whats needed to upgrade or replace... my plans are to run 15psi on E85... Would i need to up the injectors as well?

I am NA on e85 and also a 98 but you are going to need 30% larger fuel pumps and injectors to supply your car with enough fuel. Also you need to ensure everything is compatible with e85 otherwise it will eat it up and you will be replacing it.

When switching to E-85 ensure you think of everything the first time. It's a major pain in the *** to have track down failures of parts that were eaten up a million times. Stainless lines, larger e-85 safe pump, e85 resistant pick ups, fuel level sender, higher flowing injectors etc. You will also need a rescale for your injectors. Im sure thats a given considering your plans for the car. E-85 tends to flow about 30% more than pump gas.
