Can I run E85 the way it sits I have not asked my tuner just thought I would throw it on here see what you guys thought. I don't need more power although it would be happy making more.

Finally the closest gas station to now has E85 before this the closest was over 20 miles away.

Again I would just like to use E85 over my Torco blend that I currently run I don't drive it a ton currently has 9,100 miles on it.

Here is my setup.
3.4L whipple

Custom Return style fuel -8 supply -6 return, Sieman Deka 60# injectors, Fore Dual Hat, Walbro 6342 Pumps, Fore Fuel Rails, Aremotive Fuel Reg.

Currently running 640whp and 615lb

Here are a few pics as those are always good.

I'm not trying to answer your question, just was wondering how much boost are you running on this setup, and what fuel are you using to get those numbers?

I am at high altitude 5k running a 3.8 pulley at 18psi... The best I have here is 91 and run a 32 oz bottle of torco every tank. I only put about 500-1000 miles a year on the car.

OK that's good numbers in my opinion considering the altitude and fuel available. I am seriously considering moving my car to E85 as well. I would think you would see massive improvements on your setup by moving from 91 to E85.

I would just put 80lb injectors in but really don't want to remove the blower.

from what ive seen, most pick up about 50hp/tq just from E85 (same boost).

I do think youll need bigger injectors and make sure that your pumps are E85 compatible.

Agreed, #60's seem small for moving the amount of volume required for E85. I highly suggest ID1000s and doing compatible pumps for E85. I am running #8 feed and #6 return w/ ID1000s and Walbro 465 pumps.

I second the above. I would do at least 80's, but as I've read the ID's are easier to tune. I went with 80's as my tuner loves them and recommended them to me. I'd think about 465's as well, especially with the big 3.4 if you crank the boost up.
