C4 intake manifold/fuel rail e85
Hi guys. I have a c4 tpi manifold on my 350 chev, stock fuel rail stock fuel reg, 82lb injectors.
I'm upgrading to a turbo smart fuel reg for e85 purposes, but a quick look at the stock one leads me to believe I won't be able to simply swap them over. Can anyone shed some light on e85 specific fuel reg/fuel rail mods for the c4? Thanks.
I'm looking at (hopefully) making around 600whp with my current setup. Do I really need fuel reg/fuel rail mods or stock is fine? I have fuel pump and lines already sorted. This is for e85 only.

I did use E85 for 3 years. Miniram with Miniram rails. No big deal. I read this thread and wonder about 2 things. One, 600 HP pushng air through a TPI and two, 82# injectors ?? Just sounds mismatched to me.

It may well be however, the motor is going in a 300zx and I have some serious space issues in that engine bay as it is - a larger aftermarket intake manifold is out of the question at this stage.
To be honest, my power estimate is pretty much just a guess. I'm fairly new to v8's so I really don't know what this motor is going to do. Anything over 450whp is more than enough at this stage.
