No not yet. I need to shim the rear axle to get the pinion angle right. It is tuned I guess the best it will be via email tuning. Probably need to take it
and have it touched up. It has a few issues starting cold.

Hell, E85 stock vehicles have cold start issues. Reviving for more E85 boost talk.

I have 75lb injectors and I am considering adding another 255 to run e-85.

FWIW, with the addition of the GT2-3 cam, I'm at 85% IDC now.

Are your injectors 75 lb @ 43 or 58 psi?

They are rated at 75# at whatever flex fuel pressure is, so 43 or 44psi, iirc.

So running twin wallbro's is sufficient for an E85 conversion?
