Default e85 vs q16

I want to get some input. I have a mild setup running a percision SC6152E with percision 1600 injectors with a Walbro 255 intank pump stock lines. I want to put down high 550 hp range to 600 hp...That being said would i benefit more from E85 or VP Q16. Thanks

E85 is good at those power levels, but will require more pump than you have. If you're going to go gas and walbro, get rid of those 1600's and put 1000's in it. The car will drive 500 times better. You should never use 1600's unless you absolutely have to.

well i plan to just run this setup until the end of the year and build a new motor that will need the 1600's...Are they that big of a pain to tune with on setup like this?

Do you have an injector driver? I won't even tune 1600's w/o one.

u can run 110 and make 500 w/ 1000 s as the guys all said, thats basically my setup for the last couple years, on a 255, i tried to make 600 on 114 and 255 pump, on stock sleeve b16 and broke a sleeve at 595ish

hope this helps
stay away from 1600 unless u absolutely have too
