Fuel and a competent tuner are your 2 main allies in this

i gained 40whp and 100ftlbs at the tires by doing nothing more than filling up with e85 and adding fuel to the tune. didnt change boost or timing at all. i drive my car almost every day and im very happy that i switched to e85. i run 3 intank pumps with 105lb injectors. you dont need a sumped tank or any of that nonsense, but i would look into doing a return style system if you can. depends on how much power you want to make.

haha thats fine...i still like to hear people opinions.. thinking of doing a lethal performance return style set up..some big $ but it is what it is...

think im going to work on my traction issues first tho. going qa-1 10 way adjustable rears and changing the coils in the front down to a #175

sounds like a plan man. i got my fuel system from lethal aswell. they are great to deal with.

Awesome place to do business with. I bought a complete return style system from them and they had every piece I needed to do the job. I was also thinking of doing the E85 switch in the spring I just need larger injectors.

anyone still paying attention to this?....how much power can 80lb injectors handle?

 

[ford20]

Roughly 750-800HP with the 8-# from what I have seen. I mean there are people who have gotten more HP with them but they are maxing out their fuel system at that point IMO. I always would like to have a little wiggle room built in though.

Yea I'm leaning towards the lethal system an 80lb injectors...the bigger injectors r some serious money lol

My car made 708whp on E85 with 80lb injectors. I don't remember how much was left though, I think they were close to getting maxed out. Any more than that is really pushing the 2.3l and the stock internals.
