[QUOTE="Bad500Chris, post: 14554430, member: 106602"] In order to go from pump to E85, (generally speaking) you just need to be able to push 30-45% more fuel volume. So, based off your current mods on the car, if your injector duty cycle is around 75%, you should go with bigger injectors. Talk to the person who tunes your car. Look at your current data logs and determine what fuel mods need to be done. The systems that say they are E85 compatible just mean they are all stainless steel parts. Because E85 has the tendency to attract water, some parts can go bad if they have water sitting on them for too long. Ultimately it's your call on what you need. The stock GT500 fuel system is E85 "compatible" as in nothing will break if ethanol runs though the system. Remember most pump gas is 10% ethanol. The only potential you have for something going bad is if the car sits for a very long period of time and something rusts because of water in the tank. If I know the car is going to sit for a while, I swap back to pump gas. Currently, I'm running ID1000s and a BAP on E85. I have plans to move to a bigger return style setup as I'm currently running out of fuel past 6200rpm. In order to properly run E85, you just need to ask yourself how much volume can my current system handle. [/QUOTE]
