Z06 E85 conversion.
My 06 Z06 is currently running on race fuel. I'm looking into switching to E85, for the fact that its a good bit cheaper and a lot more accessible.
My car is supercharged, has upgraded internals, camed, and has headers. I was wondering what everyone recommends for injectors, flex fuel kit, and fuel pumps rated for around 1000hp. Looking to not max out any components and possible push the hp higher in the future. Thanks in advanced.

Welcome to the Forum, Brady and congratulations on what sounds like a stong C6! 
My suggestion would be to post this question in the C6 tech section at https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...rformance-101/. Lots of great members there with helpful info and probably some who have made the same changes you are considering.

Agreed.
I mean if you’re going all out I’d do a Fore system.
ECS and a&a both have their systems as well that I’m sure could be made big enough to do it but man the Fore stuff is beautiful. Sucks it ends up hidden.

Better question, that is your flow rate duty cycle now, and do you have the heat room on the current system for the 30% more E85 your going to pushing instead of petro.
Also, take into account that if your running a meth kit now with petro, may not be using it with the E85, so that more fuel over the 30% that you will be pushing as well.
