do you plan to upgrade more in the future? better to go big than to have to redo everything once you change your mod plans. I would go 1000s. I run 1200s with the mods in my sig. Should be plenty, and room for if you add more down the road. I have heard good things about the FIC bluemax line and I really like my precisions...

My IDC never spikes above like 60-65% too, so I have plenty of room...

just a comparison, this car is a monster, 720 awhp and he runs the same injectors as me with ease.. so 1200 should be plenty...

He is in las vegas too, sick cars. Vegasse is a real nice guy too, if I were in vegas, id definitely hit up a car show just to see his rides...

Yep, that's it. Injectors. Fuel pump (you have it). And an E85 tune. No conversion kit needed.

great. No other kits needed.

Why do some say you need new lines and fuel rails thats compatible with e85?

IDC is related to AFR. You have to know his AFR by redline to determine the IDC by redline.

i kno that i am just assuming that the afr is close to what most tune e85 to. im sure the idc difference between 11.5 and 12.0 isnt going to make a HUGE 20% impact on IDCs

Who knows, maybe he is running 12.5:1 AFR. Maybe, the boost is lower by redline than the car you tuned was running...Too many variables to tell.
