Thinking about getting a street car on e85

[RYAN GRAVES]

Thinking about getting another car for the street. New to E85, have a few questions, how much horsepower will the stock fuel lines support and can you run E85 mafless. Mind you I want a car that is stock appearing with all the ammenities, and still retains good driveability, cold start etc. Looking for a high ten car, have alot of parts already for a good foundation. Any input welcome, Thanks

Double pumper, stock lines, stock fuel rail and 95# injectors are good for mid tens in the mid 120's. Are going with stock ecm or aftermarket?

Have 96lbs injectors and would be a stock modded ecm. Any other issues with the E85 running through the factory rubber transition lines from the hard line to the fuel rail?

I did not see anything bad happening but I only ran the stock lines for a few months then switched to a -10 feed. My limit was 127 MPH trap speed when my injector DC went to about 97%. Switched to 160# injectors and the -10 at the same time so I am not sure if the injectors or stock line was the limiting factor.

It really is not that expensive to run a -8 or -10 feed line and use the stock feed line for a return. You won't regret it.

Looks like the 20' section is $79 also.
