My car is now E-85 powered

Just installed a larger fuel pump (Walboro 255......I'm waiting on my dual Bosche 044's), 1000cc injectors, and swapped my tune to E85. Filled up but I'm going to wait a full tank before I flog it.

Most people see a +20whp and +50wtq gain over just a performance 93 octane tune. w00t. Ordering my big turbo kit at the end of September. :awesome:

Just as a side question for you Burks:

How much does it cost to buy all these car parts and install them? Do you buy them used or new?

Pump - $95
Injectors - $389
DSP - $200-$300
Install - Free

I install all my parts myself or with the help of friends.

It's all about saving. I could have went with a big turbo and stressed my current fuel system to a possible failure and be limited by fuel (probably to 350-400 whp).

Or just upgrade my fuel and fuel system and hit the same mark. :awesome:

Imagine it would be too hard to convert my old Taurus to E-85.
Mine's mechanically tuned even so it's probably best I just leave it alone.
