Default Big injector ?

Ok experts, I am wanting to run e85 in my car. I know of the BS3 and FJO, but was wondering what your thoughts were about the Racetronix impedance converter harness or the acceleronics versafueler.

How do you think the tuning would be? Would it be something you would trust? I know it will have some effect and running a SD tune will probably help some. I have no doubts in the person who tunes my car and would trust him with anything.

I like the idea of plug and play, easy install, and of course price compared to BS3 and FJO.

Maybe I will be the first to write a review.

even though it might be more pricey, I'd be interested in going with the BS3 E85 is way cool, just wish it was more widely available!!

should be able to make some big power, just make sure the pumps and whole fuel system is setup for it, not just the injectors. going to take some BIG capacity.

I'd love to have a "dual fuel" setup. run E85 for big power, and be able to swap the tune for pump gas and low boost.

I can do this now with race fuel, which is available and easier.

interesting stuff.

There are many people on this forum who have our system. Many of these customers are pretty seasoned hard-core racers with BIG HP. If you poke around a bit you will find them. The owner of Champion Motors has a system in his TT Z06 as well as a few of his customers. You can also check with Thunder Racing and Lonnie's Performance as they have sold many of them as well.

The system is very slick and it makes installing the converter a walk in the park.

No real worries on my fuel system. I bought an ECS system with a 255lph intank, which ECS said would be good for 1000rwhp.

I haven't really thought of the e85 and pump tune, but that would be pretty cool if e85 isnt available.

I called a few of those places and also checked out TR's website. I am going to do some more research.
