Default 60 lb injectors, built fuel system (w/ rtn) are they too small for E85?

I have a question.

99 LS1, P1-SC, heads/cam/header, meth/water inj. 12 psi (max) boost, 600 rwhp.

Fuel system is 'built' with in-tank walbro 340 feeding a GSL-392 pump.

This has the early style fuel lines with return (vs. dead-head).

Ive been told that the theoretical limit an injector can supply is the lb/hr rating *20.

So with 60 lb/hr injectors, that should mean they can support 1200 HP (100% duty cycle which you would never want to do).

So....these are big enough for my 'modest' 600rwhp car, on E85?

60lb are around 70% at your current power level with E10 or regular 93. With E85 it would be over 100%. You need 80s
