E85 H/C 150 shot Hello,
I have a Heads/Cam 150 shot Car.
I am thinking to swapping to E85. Car is not a DD. Just trying to squeeze a 30-40 rwhp more. I have a racetronix 255 lph pump and I am wondering how can I know if the Fuel Pump is enough for a 150 shot on E85? Like is there any kind of Math Calculation I can do? Or how can I see? Put the 100 shot jets and see if it leans out?
Thanks,
Gus

That little 255 is going to be out of steam on motor
Good morning it will take another 30ish% more fuel on e85, so I agree if you wish to go that route you will be looking for injectors if you have not upgraded them, and a fuel pump. Let us know if there is anything we can help with.
Not worth it imo on a average LS build. However if you still want to go that route you will need a walbro 340 and 50+lb injectors...also you will need to change the regulator.

Not even close...generally speaking a LS1 dynamic compression is low enough it can get all the timing it needs on 93 pump. You might gain a few HP tops but unless running FI not worth it for all the extra **** you will need to do. I tried explaining this to my buddy that bought my 4th gen. He's been chasing Gremlins with the car since converting. It does smell good and exhaust tips stay cleaner. I run it on my 6th gen but it's entirely different ballgame. The Gen 5 LT1 picks up 25-30whp na and 50-60whp FI on E85 because the dynamic compression is very high. It allows the ability to run another 5 degrees timing over 93.

How about a slightly different scenario...if I may piggyback off the original post.
255lph pump for N/A, (under 400rwhp)
255lph pump wired into nitrous WOT switch/LNC 2000 timing retard
60# injectors
Aeromotive return regulator
Nitrous Outlet wet plate
Presently datalogs at 40% injector duty cycle, or less, NA
As opposed to spiking the fuel tank with a 50/50 mix 93 pump/110 leaded...
would the existing combo (assuming parts themselves are "ok" for E85) be enough to run straight E-85?
Not concerned with how much N/A HP gain, if any. Main concern is nitrous assisted octane...on an occasional weekend toy/bracket racer.
