You’re asking about which Flex fuel kit to get?
Or are you asking whether your fuel system will be up to the task?
The best FF kit is the DSX kit, which is simple plug and play, although I’m not so sure about on the 2005 cars. Best guy to ask is schpenxel. He’s a guru on that kind of stuff, having ripped his 2005 C6 apart and put it back together like 500,000 times.
If you’re asking what to do with the fuel system, I would say chuck the BAP and do an ECS Stage 1 fuel system and hope that the stock pump doesn’t crap the bed from methanol use. That’s what I did, but I’m sure there’s going to be alternate opinions on that.
And, btw, you need to make sure that you have enough injector for E85 as well, since you’re going to be using about 30% more fuel.

Will let you know how mine did. Going in this week to have Flex-fuel conversion and A&A dual external pump. I know the tuner will be putting in 1000 pound injectors. At 65 lbs now. and at 95% duty. I Have a Heartbeat blower in it now.

The 1300Xs are like $800 more than the 1050s, so you’d want to figure out what size you need.
ID injectors are pricey, but were reportedly designed specifically to be used with Ethanol, which can cause internal corrosion in an inferior injector, which could cost you an engine if an injector fails at high rpm.
