Planning on Converting to E85 could use some tips

Hello all thanks for viewing for thread.

I am planning to convert my '14 to e85 and I have compiled a list of parts that I think I would need. I have a stock Evo, that is daily driven, but I do plan to upgrade it slowly over time. I have tried to make my selections ans future proof as possible without going to overboard.

Well here is the list:
Cobb 1300cc Injectors
Walboro 400lph pump with MAP install kit
MAP inline fuel filter
Driven Fabrication fuel line
AEM wideband
AEM regulator with gauge

Are the fuel line and inline fuel filter both necessary or will just one of them due. I know I need a fuel filter with a new pump install but not sure if the Driven Fabrication fuel line with filter will cover it. I would also like recommendations for a fuel sock as this been a point of confusion for me.

I want to do this right and not have to worry about dissolving fuel lines or anything like that. Is there anything else I would need or is this list too much, too little, or just right.

EDIT: Just realized I did this on 1-9 forum. Sorry guys first post = fail.

Fuel line
Regulator and guage
Inline filter.

Are un needed and can use that money towards other mods imo.

All you need is a bigger pump,injectors and a tune to go e85.

If he uses a non OEM fit drop-in fuel pump you absolutely need an inline filter as the OEM filter is deleted.

Other stuff I agree 100% with you.

I figured the walbro 400 hes gonna use has a sock. But i agree with you. It needs some sort of filter. Sock style or inline.
