Yes you will need bigger injectors as it takes almost double the amount of of the mix. Bigger fuel pump is advisable. I have heard some people working well with the walbro inlines, but some are also swearing by the Bosch's because they work better with it. Yes you MUST get a tuner that can work with it. E-85 is not something you can just pour in your tank and magically get more power. The power gains from E-85 are due to how much cooler it burns in comparison to race gas or pump gas. Thus meaning you can run more aggressive timing.

If you search, there is a 4 page thread in the all motor forum that should answer everything you need to know
