e85 tryout?

I am wondering can I run E85 with the stock injectors running stock boost? If I run an E85 map? I realize that an upgraded fuel pump and injectors are needed but before I get them what boost level will the stock IX pump and injectors handle. be nice.

Well, what are your IDC's? Is there 30% left? If so, then the answer is yes?

If your IDC's are less then 77%, then you can run E-85 at your stock boost level. Although, I'd prefer to have a bit of a margin.

And, keep an eye on your AFR as you approach redline. The IX pump should be able to keep up, but not all pumps are exactly the same output.
