There is a lot to this than just a simple answer.

What are your HP goals?
Why do you think you need to go to E85?
Current mods?
Are you aware that E85 in cold weather can have issues?
How often do you fill up?
What is your budget?
Have you researched what stations around you have E85?
Who is going to tune your car?

There are probably some other factors Im forgetting, but lets start here.

fic bluemax 1250cc + single walbro 255 modded = 480-500 or so but duty cycle is 90%+
fic bluemax 1450cc + single walbro 255 modded = 480-500 or so
fic bluemax 1450cc + buschur double pumper = 650-700 or so
fic bluemax 2150cc + buschur double pumper = 800+

pm me for the best pricing on any FIC injector.

With a good tune e85 starts fine cold or warm in any weather conditions. The only downside is it consumes 30% more fuel then regular gasoline therefore you will get less MPG per tank of fuel. Its also not available at every gas station, so it would be smart to get a dual map tune for gasoline as well. It will also dilute oil alittle, so its better to change oil more frequent.
