I don't think anyone has addressed the fact that the stock fuel pump is most likely not E85 compatible. Also the in tank fuel filter might not be ideal for E85. A stainless mesh type of filter is preferred. Fuel filters apparently get clogged up more frequently with the use of E85 as well.
Fuel system upgrades are recommended as mentioned in post #9

Other than injectors and a BAP my fuel pump is running like a champ with 700hp and e85

Is there anywhere the rest of us who really need the guidance on running E85 can find it? Or would a PM do? Would like to buy your flex fuel sensor setup and would like to know if I do need to change the stock pump and injectors..............

I think Im missing something here. I also have an 08 Suburban that is flex fuel compatible. I used E85 once and found the performance decreased and fuel mileage dropped by about 4mpg. Is the flex fule being used here something different

Yes, it is. The e85 is being used for basically race fuel. You can in turn have a more aggressive tune to better use the e85. The Flex system will auto detect the type of fuel you are running and switch to that tune. This prevents you having to load a tune every time you change between e85 and gasoline. I always been told as a rule of thumb you will burn twice the amount of alcohol to gasoline.

Dave sells the kits. You will have to send him a PM or contact him via telephone to purchase. CF will not allow him to advertise or sell anything here without paying their outrageous fees.
