Full E-85 What is needed?
So upon digging I can’t seem to find a clear direct answer as to what is needed to run full e-85 or that the answer will vary depending on application.
My Z06 has a fully built LME motor in it rated for 1400hp.
I want to know what do I need to run full e-85 with meth on my car, will it be just larger injectors and pumps? Or is there something else?
Car has an Edelbrock 2300 SC and the goal is 950hp+.
thanks guys

Port Injection is the cheapest way nowadays. Look into the Toohighpsi kit. Camaro guys are running it with great success. If you don’t want to go that route, someone is selling a LPE big bore pump and XDI +30 injectors in the for sale section.
Port injection would allow you to ditch the meth altogether though. GM was onto something with the C7 ZR1.

You will potentially need an in tank solution, upgraded fuel lines, and then decide between port injection or to add a belt driven HPFP with 65%+ injectors and lot's of meth. If you're truly shooting for 85% Ethanol you will need a lot of volume.

SMG just released their new in-tank setup for the 6th gen Camaro, may check and see if they will make something for the C7.
With that you will need at least a low side solution, a high side solution (LPE Big Bore HPFP $2500) and as said either FIC +30% or +45% injectors and possibly a cam with either a +32 or +38 fuel lobe. All in you will be looking at near $10k or more in fuel system mods to be able to get close to being able to run full E85.
