Who's using E85?

Just curious....
Those who are using E85, how many and what injectors are you using, what fuel pump/s and how much power are you making?
Thanks!

I thought about using it on my 20b but it seems like the amount of fuel you would end up burning would make it pretty useless as a street car you would be pulling over left and right for fuel. as for racing same problem to many pit stops so the only use i can think of is a drag car. imo

I got 8 Marren 1680cc injectors with a Weldon DB2025-A fuel pump
I was wondering if 6 injectors would be ok to produce 700+hp on E85?
Initial calculations would say yes but I might just stick with the 8, better to be safe than sorry

Hmm.... 8 x 1680cc/min = 13,440cc/min = 3.55 Gal/min. and my shower flows 1.8 Gal/min. you don't think you will hydro lock? If you get a pump to flow that, at 50% duty cycles you will empty a full tank in an FC with in about 9 min.
