I have a 98 cobra with the Glenns 1000hp fuel system for 2003 2004 cobra. It has 10 feed 8 return size for fuel lines. Dual walbro 255 pumps. And ID 1050 xds injectors. MMR fuel rails. Car has a vortech ti trim pushing 26 pounds of boost. How much HP can this system support on e85. Currently running sunoco 260gt plus 104 octane with no problems but I want to switch to e85. I'm guessing mid 700s? Anyone have experience with e85 with these power levels and boost amount? Thanks. Like to know what this fuel system I have is capable of. Says 1000hp but that is not with e85 and I know you need to add way more fuel if you run the corn.

Unless they've been updated, Walbro 255's are not E85 compatible. The pumps will prematurely die. While they do live, I would be surprised if they supported beyond maybe 750whp.

I suspect you'd max out the injectors around 850whp.

On Glenns website where I got the fuel system with pumps it said compatible with all fuels I believe. Thanks.

I suspect you'd max out the injectors around 8stall bigger pumps to be safe. Thanks again

I think I'll install bigger pumps to be sure. Thanks again for the response.
