93octane switch to E85

Hey fellas, my only 100 octane pump in Long Island that I know of no longer sells the good gas. Ive been running 93 and rarely 100 octane on my race map. I know of 3 or 4 spots out on the Island where I can fill er up with E85.

What injectors/ fuel pump is best fitted for high hp cars?

All i did was upgrade my injectors to 83 lbs ,& have been running that way for 2 yrs no problems,however i'm probably gonna upgrade the whole fuel system soon bigger lines,pump & even bigger injectors 1000 cc is what where thinking .It runs great & very strong but is still begging for more gas to maximize it's potential.

Contact edelectra. He's in your neck of the woods and did some E85 vtgs that were sub 6, 60-130. I say go for it.

hypothetically speaking if I was to run e85 on gt3071s or 3076s.. what fueling/ injectors or pumps would be necessary? Going to contact some tuners (protomotive, Epl, Evoms)

p.s so upset my local fuel station no longer sells 100

I have 1680s with A3076 plus extra fuel pump, larger fuel lines. It's a major overhaul of your fuel system. With 1680s you would be pretty much committed to running E85. I don't think you can switch back and forth with gas with that size injector.

Yes the one in Malverne, ive heard that story over the years and they always start selling it again. But regardless im sick of paying the 9.99 for 100 octane where I can have a better running car with more boost on e85.

With Alpha/GT kit you will need fuel system and you still can ran E85 or 93 octane. All you need is to change map/reflash. Same with modded vtgs with bigger injectors.
