Default E85, questions.
What do I need? Just injectors and pump? Who sells the parts? Is there a direct replacement pump for my 2000 Chevy ck1500? Planning on running only e85. Thanks

It depends on mods and power you're are making. May need a fuel pump as well

I'm having a heck of a time finding someone to sell me the parts. It's going to b a small cam, also has a whipple supercharger running 7-8 psi.

Are they special injectors and pump to run it? Or is it just the pressure and more volume? And yes I'm going to get it dyno tuned after install.

Do you know who is going to tune it? If so I bet they can help you in getting the right stuff.

Yes I do, he was going to check on it, but in the mean time I was going to look myself. I've called 6-7 places and they are not helping at all.

Technically you should run a pump and injectors that are E85 compatable, although I know people who dont. Try calling Lonnie's Performance. They were very helpful in explaining this all to me

We need to know more about the car. Engine setup, power adders, expected power, before anyone can make a suggestion.

2000 reg cab short box 5.3. whipple charger, and a small cam.

Would I just need injectors and a pump? Rest of it supply it ok?

Most likely.

Reason for e85 is this whipple has no intercooler. Any other way of getting around it? To cool it down? Or should I even worry about it? Runs about 7 psi.

I didn't even realize that companies sold kits without intercoolers anymore. You'll most likely see a massive gain with ethanol.

What's your current pony power? How much boost? Supercharger size? Etc?

You could probably get away with LSA/LS9 injectors, but I'd go with a 60lb just to be safe. You'll need a 340lph pump as well. Make sure whatever you buy is ethanol compatible.
