Anyone Convert to E85?
I have been told it will likely kill our stock fuel pumps. I have also been told that significant HP gains can be had as well provided the car is tuned to run with it. My guess is if you eliminate the secondary throttle blades and split the fuel flow between both ports, the injectors likely have enough head room to flow more E85 fuel?
Just curious.

the early z for sure will need new injectors and I would bump them up.
the lt5 is so detonation resistant I'm really not sure how much it would help but for sure I'm interested and it's a great idea!
I think swapping out the pumps and injectors might be an ok starting point unless you aren't going much over stock hp levels as that's about all it would support.
figure a 40% bump in fuel flow to support desired HP level to be safe.
