Default E85 whipple DI 5.3

As stated guys, i just purshased a 2015 regular cab a month ago and have already purshased a whipple 2.9 kit for it and a cj tunes flex fuel kit that should be here this weekend. The truck as of now has an mbpr exsaust and a volant cai. Along with the whipple n e85 i will also be adding a 160 tstat and a tru cool trans cooler. Will keep updated as the build goes. Matt sorian from sorian tuning in rosenberg will be doing the custom dyno calibration. If someone could help me on adding pictures that would be great.

Have you discussed with your tuner, the e85 and Whipple? I'm not so sure the stock HPFP/LPFP and injectors can handle this setup with the boost.

It should have come with a 160 stat. I didn't find the room for my true cool behind the HE so I still havent installed it yet. If I had it to do over I would definitely get the ZO6 hpfp and injectors before installing it. I am not thinking youll have quite enough to run E85. For some reason mine on 4.375 pulley and bone stock measured 9.7 or 9.8 lbs boost. Yours may be less bc of better exhaust. Ill be watching. It would be awesome if you can use the E85. I would be getting retuned for it lol.

Ive been told that quite a few times about doing the fuel system before but ima go ahead n just slap the whipple on like that, as far as e85 goes im not even going to attempt that, maybe if it were a maggie with less power, the trucool i just hope i can get it on lol

Alright guys, so between me and my friend it took us a long 14 hrs to install because of small bumps along the way like a small leak in the resovior and the volant intake i had on was not matching up with the maf sensor and a valve cover line
All n all we were able to do the install quite easily just following the instictions, i took it over to matt sorian for a tune n he made it put out 460/465 in third not all done up yet!
