Default 6.0 MAGGIE 112 E85 conversion

Checkin with you guys that have maggies or knowledgeable folks to see what kind of power improvement you got when you went to E85 (I am running 91 pump gas). Possible gains with my set-up? Lq4, 112 maggie 3.0 pulley 8 lbs, shorties, c.a, 473whp. Appreciate opinions.

E85 on a Maggied / cammed 5.3 gained an honest 50 Rwhp on the dyno. Wish I had e85 more readily available and larger injectors !

You will get a nice gain, however plan to redo your whole fuel system to support the E85.

Ya I'm getting Bosch 70 LB injectors if it all works out. The existing mallory 110FI fuel pump I think should be enough. Possible fuel line change though. Summit doesn't think there steel braid line will work with E85. There are a lot of opinions on the corrosive issue.
