In the process of converting!
Thanks for adding this. :beer:
You both need to start threads here and share your experiences. As the fuel becomes more available conversions are just going to get more popular.
Thinking of converting myself, since I now have a putt-putt for a daily.
I'm running a Glenn's Performance 1000hp fuel system ( -10 hardline Y'd to twin GSL392 255lph hi-pressure pumps, -10 mainline to the front Y'd to -6 to UPR rails and a single -6 return from an Aeromotive regulator) with Siemens Deka 60s on a stock displacement/heads/cams forged 4.6 with a Vortech JT-Trim. Fuel lines are pushlock. Last known power level was 549/445 n 15psi at about 18* and 11.2:1 A/F.
Most of what I have read tells me that I'll have to move up as far as injector size; 40% IIRC. Anything else?

2004 SVT Cobra
2.6KB @ 23psi
Fore returnless fuel system with 3 FGT pumps
all the bolt ons
full catless exhaust
100% stock long block
3.27 rear end gear
E85
I have not had the car on a dyno since it was street tune, but i can tell you that the pull is absolutely unreal. The DA' in Lubbock, Tx. is generally around 4000' and my car pulls harder up here than it did on my old VP113/93 tune in Houston, Tx. where the DA' is generally around sea level. I can't wait to get my car back down to Houston because it's a completely different animal, the power is just savage!

Just did mine over the summer on my 03' cobra, triple walbros -10 feed, -8 return with 105lb injectors... it was tricky getting it tuned mail order but worth it as available e85 is in indiana
yes sir, best thing i have done to the car.
So what are the requirements to running E85 in your fuel system? Bigger lines? I understand the bigger pump / bigger injector part. Luckily for me it seems like I dont need to do anything besides those two upgrades to run E85 safely.
802rwhp on E85, woohoo! Will help with any questions anyone has.
With the help of Kevin (04sleeper), Erik (skaarew04SVT), and a few others i finished my conversion last winter. HP is right around 685. Here are some random pics.
Very impressive!! :rockon:
In the process now... will post back when complete.
I am almost finished converting to E-85 on my 03 Cobra with the stock Eaton supercharger. First dyno run the car put 503 to the wheels with a 2.76 upper k&n filter longtube headers and catless bassani X pipe along with a stage 4 steggy port. 481 torque also.
I am going back friday to throw more timing at it since that run was only done at 19* of timing.
All I did was upgrade injectors to 60lb'ers. I will try to remember to check friday and see how they are performing as well as my stock fuel pumps, my kenne bell boost-a-pump is doings its job well also.
