You're going to want at least 1200cc injectors. What size is your secondary pump? If you're not already, I'd definitely recommend running a FPR with a return line.

I currently run a racetronix in tank and a dw350 external and I'm maxing out my 1000cc Injectors. Unsure of power level but, H/C/TiV1-3.25".

get in touch with brent for the dual intank pumps
go with at least 127 bosch or bigger intjectors
return fuel system with good regulator
good tuner!!

don't skimp on the fuel system for your target
you don't need meth injection if you run e85 as it just complicates things

what compression are you running and what are the cam specs??

It sure if the spec it’s a&a stage IV it’s a 2001 z currently on meth and pump at 18# it makes around 800 to the tire the compression is low 8.5-1. 9.0-1
was looking to drop a pulley on the f1a and go E85 cause the limit my tuner said is gas right now. I bring the car to CBI streetcar here in STL.

CR is a bit low so boost a muv and pulley down

You're not too far from me. I'm only 1.5hr north up by Springfield, IL. What's your meth setup? I don't run meth and have been straight e85 since the beginning build for me. Currently having a forged engine built and looking for larger injectors as I've ran out of room even prior to the new engine.

I made 850 RWHP on E85 with Bosch 220’s, a 044 fuel pump that runs the car normally then a 4303 thats on a Hobbs switch that kicks the pump on at 5 lbs. If I remember correctly, my injector duty cycle was under 60%.

With e85?! That seems rather impossible to have such a low DC on 120# Injectors.

Well it was only 1093.4 but I claimed 1100. And yes it is on E85 with 120# injectors. I went back and looked at the log and it was 75% duty cycle.

Are you sure you have 120 injectors or do you use ALOT watermeth? I have 1008hp and duty cycle was near 70% with Bosch 220.

They are 1200cc, using 55 pounds of base pressure with a boost referenced return style regulator.
