Default Are 60lb injectors going to be enough for E85?
Ok, Im doing the 24x conversion and will end up getting it tuned again. My engine is a 396 w/ cnc'd IK210 brodix heads, victor single plane intake, ASM monoblade TB, cam duration is 255/264 and lift is .643/.631. I went with the 24x conversion to spin a little more rpm. I was thinking since i have to have it tuned again, maybe getting it tuned on E85 if my injector are big enough. I have siemen 60's in it right now, do you guys think that will be enough?

83s at 50psi. I have a dry direct port, they're good for 900+. The 60s are good for around 650 without cranking up the fuel pressure. Run em at 60psi I say since you have the pump.
