Default E85 setups for 600+ C6Z

What setups for E85 are you all are running on cars with higher compression (12.5+) that will easily support more than 600whp? I’ve searched the topic and gotten hugely different answers. Wanting to know what pumps, injectors, lines, and style system (return vs returnless).

Walbro 450 in tank and ID850-ID1050x is all you need.

What Jay said. No reason to touch lines, return, rails, etc etc. Throw a 450/485/520 Walbro, and some ID 850/1050x and be done.

I just did injectors and flex sensor. Been running great for about a year. I'm sure I may need to do the fuel pump at some point, but the stock pump is holding up.

Your'e a gambling man Jason... lol...

Not a question of "if" but "when" that stock pump goes.

Where do you typically get your E85 in Dallas..? I know its everywhere.. Just trying to figure out the best places. I hear Kroger has good E85...

I live in north Fort Worth and next to a Racetrack that has E85, but the E is 69%. I hear Kroger has the best E85, but never tried it. Next closest to me is over in Southlake.

Stock fuel pump
85lb injectors
BAP (Boost-a-Pump)
Flex Fuel Sensor

Stock fuel pump has been holding for over 2 years. I run a tank of 93 occasionally, but mostly E85 from Kroger over here near Garland. I can definitely tell a HP increase from 93 to the E85.
