Default E85/Headers/CAI on a LS3, injector question

So on a LS3 C6 is anyone running those boltons and E85 with the stock injectors? I'm assuming I'll need bigger injectors and I've got a line on LSA injectors but before buying them I wanted to know if anyone got away with using the stock injectors. I can get the LSAs for $150, not sure if that's a good price. Without knowing the duty cycle of a stock LS3 I'm just guessing so if anyone can just tell me the stock duty cycle I can figure out the math.

Thanks in advance.

$150 for the LSA is a good price.

From what I have researched, they should support ~525rwhp at 4bar pressure, NA on E85

Thats what I was hoping for. I'd like to install everything and be able to tune it all at once instead of running out of fuel. I know rough calculations put it pretty close if I do 60% duty cycle on the Ls3s(just guessing from previous tunes on a stock motor). I know I'd need 10% for headers/CAI in most cases so that would mean 35-40% for E85.

60% x 42= 25, 25/52= 48% so that would leave 50% which would be eaten up by the mods and E85. Knowing what the stock duty cycle would be a big help.

LSA injectors (as long as you have enough fuel pump) will support around 580-600whp on E70. I typically bump people to ID850s when they're in that range though.

That's great to hear. Do you know off hand what the stock duty cycle is? Haven't logged the car yet to check.

Stock? I do not understand what that word means.

Lol! I'm trying to erase it from my vocabulary immediately
