    Dark Horse claims he has been running a similar setup for a while no issues. I think maybe just larger injectors ? 42s?

    Depends on how it's running as far as KR goes. I would take small steps and see how it does. But chances are thin.

    Probable 60# for 2.8 pulley just to get enough fuel.
    Probable need fuel pump

    Don't think you can go 2.8 without intercooler.

    Unlikely, I've never personally seen it done.

    Very easy to do. You might want to put on a cam or some exhaust mods, and pull some timing, before you really try it, as well as the aforementioned fuel mods.

    FWIW, I ran a 2.8 daily on E85. A cam and headers won't hurt to do it though.

    With headers, injectors, rockers, fuel pump, and a good tuner it should be possible with a gen3 blower. Gen 5 will be pushing it with a 3.0. Ask me how I know.

    Nah, I didn't have any problems, besides getting the POS aftermarket pump to have a secure line so my fuel pressure didn't bleed off.

    Mine suffered a bit. On Gas (E10 average) I can get about 25-26 mpg on at 70mph, E85 usually drops me to 20-22 mpg range.
