Base C6 LS3 E85 conversion
Hello everyone,
Looking to convert my base C6 auto to E85.
I couldn't find any current E85 articles regarding the "how to"?
I know I'll need a higher volume pump and higher volume injectors.
I will be doing the install personally and I am aware that the car will need a retune afterwards.
Anyone know how much power increase to expect?(C6, Z51, auto, intake, ported T.B., t-stat, colder plugs, long tubes, O/R mid pipes, flow master axle back)
Any help out there will be greatly appreciated as well as any leads to where I could buy the parts myself.
Thanks for the help!

You can expect 8% more power while burning 30% more fuel with your setup. Even more power for turbocharged engines.
You should be able to run your stock injectors running E 85 while enjoying the benefits of 30-35 more HP.
Unfortunately I have not yet converted the Vette to run E85 but...
I Land Speed Race a 2012 Hayabusa running E85 and we captured the stock 1340CC and under record last year at the Ohio Mile. Check out the video.
