Default Wanting to make the switch to e85

Alright guys well i tried searching but site didn't offer much. I'm looking to switch over the e85 for next season. This past season i was running 100oct making a little over 500whp. I'm running a walbro 255 and precision 1000cc injectors. I'm wondering if i have enough fuel system to support the same amount of power if not a little more. Id like to push to 550+ but want to see what upgrades would be needed to make it happen. Also I'm on stock fuel lines and what not, not sure if those would have to be increased also. Any other info needed just ask.

Thanks for the help.

A bigger pump and bigger injectors. I was told that I would max out at around 470whp on e85 with 1000's and a walbro. I'm going with dual walbros now and either id1000's or id2000's

I am no tuner but I would agree your going to need more pump and injector than what you have now for anything over probably 450ish whp on e85.

thats right. ive tuned a handful using single walbro + rc1000s/precision1000s/rochester etc. all of them maxed out shy of 500whp.

using dual walbros + 1600cc = 650whp.

using dual walbros or walbro+044s + id1000s + 80-100psi = 600+

all on upgraded lines.
