E85 questions

I am considering getting the conversion to E85. Just needed some basic info on the switch.

Other then getting some 79lb injectors and tuned for it, what else is needed to do the switch?

Getting a hefty tax check back next year and I figure its time to dump some more cash into the ol' redline. Planning on ZZP HE, ZZP header/catless dp, 2.7, dual-pass w/option B.

Just still stuck on going with 60s and staying gas or taking the plunge and doing the E85 since its readly available here in NW indiana.

Thanks in advance for any input.

You can expect numbers close to this.

Thanks for the info. I have been looking over dynos of the power its making on E85 and am pretty impressed.

I was pretty sure that it was just the injectors and tune but wanted to be 100% that there were no other hidden items needed.

Thanks again

Instead of the 79# injectors I would just go with the slightly bigger 80's, other than that you should be straight.

In that dyno graph I was on a 2.5" cat-back. I think reaching the 290s would be no problem with a free flowing 3" cat-back.

Yea I forgot I can get 80s now. Thats probally not a bad idea.
Then I would be pretty set to go TVS down the road.

So many things I want to do and so little money to do it...bah.
