Default Injector sizing please

I am convinced that E85 is the way to go. I turned over the furniture, looked under the sofa cushions and car seat, smashed the piggy bank and I think I have put together enough spare change to convert to dual fuel so I can burn corn squeezins.

2010, 6.2l LS3, 4L65/70e, V-2 Ti+, cam, springs, rockers, BAP, headers, M1, 3" exhaust.

Assuming the fueling system is adequately sized and properly configured, how much WHP will ID1050X's support on E85?

Thanks!

ID1050x should support 800ish on E85 pretty easily.

FIC has different calculators as well that are helpful: https://fuelinjectorclinic.com/faqs/

1050's should be good up to 900whp on E85 assuming you have enough pump behind them, if you're spraying meth you'll have a little more headroom as well.

Thank you @Creamo3

That is what I have been coming up with as well.

I have a base with the factory (as far as I know) pump and a BAP. I have been looking at external pumps. Not to keen on punching a hole in the gas tank but it looks to be doable. Not real keen on dropping the tank either. Guess I'll have to pick my poison.

I'm running an external pump setup, but eventually upgraded the in-tank pump as well since you'll need to drop the tanks to install regulator block-off plugs if you want to run a boost/vacuum referenced regulator.

@Creamo3 Thank you sir. I have so much to learn. I was wondering how to convert to a returnless and make it boost\vacuum referenced.
