what was all done to your engine?
12.5:1 compression Bps3 cams, rbc with 70mm TB port matched on a restricted apexi world sport muffler. 274whp 202wtq E85. May sell it since now went stock k24a4 rotrex on E85.

I use ID1000cc injectors with a 255hp pump + in line bocsh 044 pump tuned at 75psi

im am going to be running stock compression do you know if that matters?
You will be OK.
Which engine or what compression?

You could probably get away with modified OEM injectors to 510cc

Most new rubber fuel lines can handle E85. Old prior 1990 not.

E85 has it's advantages & disadvantages:

Burns about 200°F cooler than pump gas so your engine runs cooler
your engine gets internally cleaner
It requires about 20%~30% more volume
you may take advantage of it's 105 octane & cooler burn by leaning it a little more at idle or cruise to gain a little MPG
it attracts water so gotta be careful storing the car on really high compression on boosted engines.
about $0.50 cheaper than 87 octane pump gas in many states.
really hard or far to get in many areas.
your travel distance gets shortened per fuel tank.
made in the USA so we support local jobs.
makes good power but gotta see if it's something you willing to get into after looking at the +&- it comes with.
aem ecu allows you to switch, mix on the fly from E85 or pump gas. Like a true flex-fuel GM Car does. By adding a ethanol fuel mixture sensor.

i have a set of 550cc DEKA injectors i was thinking to sell them and get a set of 1000cc if i go E85 witch i am sure im going to:D
i have a k20z1 running stock compression with IPS k2-11 cams intake manifold 75mm TB and going to be running Kpro. how is running E85 with Kpro?
It's all in the tune. It runs perfectly
Why you think I said I love it :D

Id1000 are great. prefect idle & great atomization + room for improvement in the future in case you add a supercharger or build a k24/k20.

At that time; 12:5:1cr,go power v1r cams, xcessive manifold(too big) with 90mm tb, 3" exhaust, 274whp, 204wtq, E85 using fic 2200cc injectors(went ahead and got those cause i plan to go rotrex later and didnt want to get bigger inj later).

setup has changed a little now:)
We're very close :up:
