Going full bolt on and maybe cams I want to run ignite E90 and pump e85 to help with more power and to keep charge temps down. Will the FIC 1000 and vmp duel boost a pump get me there? Let me know placing my order in the morning on VMP.

Nope. You're going to need larger injectors and likely a return style fuel system. You'll use 33% more fuel by volume over pump gas, so you need to step up your fuel delivery accordingly.

You can get away with dual fuel pump boosters (dual BAPs), injectors and a tune. Changing to a E85 FRIENDLY CANTON CM filter is necessary over 800rwhp.
Good luck, I love my corn.

Few guys running dual baps and 1000cc injectors on e85
I think you may be high duty cycle on that setup, but people do it.
I don’t think Lund will touch it though and pretty much require 1300’s and a return style if I am not mistaken

the '13/'14 need a return style? I can't count how many guys I've seen run ID1300 CCs + Dual VMP Boost a pumps without issue

Lund does not require a return style btw.

This is a bit of can of worms. Guys that run BAPs say you do not need to, guys that run return style say that you do. If I was budget constrained I would go with 1300s and skip return but YMMV. I went with 1300s and return on mine. Definitely go with 1300s tho.

Friend of mine has a 14 with 1300s and BAPs running E85 with a Lund tune, stock pumps. He doesn't absolutely require a return system on a 13/14 for E85, but I'd probably do it anyways if I was going that route.

I'm in the process of switching to E85 on my 14 GT500, I already have a 21 volt KB BAP, bigger fore fuel rails and I just ordered ID1050s.

Sorry , maybe they told me that because I have an 07-09 car. I did not realize at the time the 13/14 pumps were capable.
