We talked about it for a while last week and both came to the conclusion that it is going to be close. He texted me today and said he's been thinking about it and doesn't think the injectors will be enough for E85.

I think the plan right now is to throw them in there and run 93 and see what the IDC is, then go from there.

What I have been pondering is whether or not stepping up to bigger injectors is worth it just to run E85. These injectors are good up to 515rwhp on 93, which I would be really lucky to ever see. But E85 is so cool and I have a pump right next to my house, it's like a free 40rwhp, I just have to plunk down $480 for the right injectors.

Decisions decisions...

well if you sell the injectors you got your only looking at half the cost, and is it worth it?....next to my blower and cam i would say it is next in line as far as power from the seat of your pants goes, very worth it not only from a power stand point but its like having a safety net for your motor as well cause its almost impossible to make your motor ping/detonate on it.

A single walbro and boost-a-pump will make around 550. Thats where mine ran out and I had to install another walbro.

E85 seems to be much safer for FI so Id run the corn juice personally if I had to choose.

Cool, thanks for the info. You make a good point that I need to find out the limits of my pump before I start buying other injectors. I just started another thread to see how far people have been able to push the stock FF pump here.

Do the FF injectors have the same connector as the regular truck injectors?

Ok, here's my take on the subject. Put the injectors in, pulley down and get the boost. Tune for E85 and drop your shift points to where your just about out of injector (5800rpm ???). Use the HUGE, table top looking torque curve a PB blower has to your advantage, but lower your max RPM, you will gain a lot of head room with you fuel system with less rpm. Basicly you'll be crutching it till you can upgrade your fuel system and still get the max out of both mods,

No, they don't.
