What needs to be done to run E85 in my truck
Just like it says. Is it as simple as just stickin the nozzle in and filling it up. I am currently running the delphi 42# injectors @gm fp they are 50# injectors. I have a mail order tune from nelson. Let me know if there is any other info needed. Thanks Thomas

I would stick with a E-85 only approach.
Becouse with E-85's high octane rating "roughly 110", and ability to "cover up" a bit of a lean tune. Then you can take your 5 psi to about 10 psi, and you would not have to take much out of the timing if any so you can use the E-85 to its fullest.
In Car Craft a couple of years back they ran E-85 on a 12-1 compression 383 SBC, and it did better then race gas on total HP and TQ but also in ease of tuning and forgiveness.
