E85 hurting fuel injectors

Hey guys im switching over to E85 in the next couple weeks and im unsure on what injectors to go with. i have read that E85 is really harsh on injectors and can really mess up the spray pattern. I have also seen that sum company's dont warranty there injectors when E85 is used... What are you guys running with E85 and how is everything going so far?

thanks guys

Lots of guys run the Precision 1200/1600cc and they hold up just fine.

What turbo are you running or planning to run. I'm on FIC Bluemax 1450's and although a little tricky to scale they do work...

PTE 1600's won't idle on pump gas. The FIC Bluemax 1450's will.

all depends on mods of course, but I imagine that 1250 or 1450cc will work well.

get in touch with Mike @ AWDmotorsports, he has some high power cars of himself and some of his customers running E85, he as of right now is one of the most knowlegeable gear heads in the community with E85.
