[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 13850958, member: 155561"] I dont want direct injection. This coming from someone who has first hand experience with it, its awesome, until you run out... On my mazdaspeed3, the use of E85 was EXTRAORDINARY, because E85 has an effective octane of around 160 in DI applications. We were able to max out our cars with only 25% E85 per tank (including my 500 whp car), it was incredibly effective. Now that was great until the injectors were maxed. DI is still new, and the mustang / corvette are larger platforms so maybe replacement injectors will come sooner, but right now plug and play injectors are not an option. In the mazda / cobalt / GTI, basically any DI car that needed more fuel, we had to run a separate fuel injector(s) in our intercooler piping, with a stand alone controller spliced into the MAF. Luckily i tuned myself, but i was having to tune two maps simultaneously, and it was a huge pain in the ass. Theres also a second high pressure fuel pump (driven by the intake cam, on a V8, there could very well be two pumps) which could need upgrading if the car is not capable of keeping the fuel pressure needed (1600+). Theres also injector seals that are prone to blowing out with enough power, which can be detrimental to engine health ... DI is great, but it comes with a lot of headaches, and until i can pop injectors out and pop fresh ones in like PI i dont want it. [/QUOTE]
