You will need the 80# injectors for E85. We tried to tune mine for 15psi on the 60# injectors and we ran out of fuel at about 8psi. Now i have 79# injectors that i have to install and tune for.

You just need one or two step colder plugs in general for boost applications. Not just for E85.

I would get 1000cc injectors from RC if you want to make real power on e85. I did the math out and if you want to make 400 wheel, you need 1000cc's.

RC engineering. There's a group by somewhere for them. 80's would only take you to about 350-380 on e85. You might be able to push them to 400 though with some extra fuel pressure and running them past 80% idc.
