How much power?

E85 could require an all new fuel system depending on power goal, figure you need 30-40% more fuel flow at least.

I'm set up for flex and also have meth on my lq9. At 650hp max you should be fine with meth. I made 708 rwhp on 91 + meth with a single walbro 450 on a returnless fuel system. Like FFDP said when I wanted more hp and switched to flex I had to have my fuel system completely redone. I might be the only weirdo spraying Meth on E85 but my truck is set up to run whatever gas I feel like and go. I just can't go in my higher boost settings when I have 91 in the tank.

Just use pump gas and meth if you want 600's.

I got a alkyl control meth kit. From what I have gathered it's the best and the only one that allows you to run 100% meth. The pump did crap out on me once and started leaking though.
