Thread: E85 conversion, question about pump and injectors

And the injectors will be 60's most likely. I was just asking about the 80's since I seen them for sale. Mods are headers, ported m90/intake/heads/TB. Probably XP cam, or something a little bigger. I just couldn't afford it right now, and want to do it right when I can buy all the necessary valve train components. Was thinking about a vs cam so I can squeeze it in when I do the swap, but I'm gonna hold off till I can do it right.

If you got a great deal on it then that's different. When I googled it they were all like $170 ish. That's like $80 more for a pump than a 255. Thats the only point i was making there. That pump should work the same.

I saw 80's for sale when i was shopping for larger injectors too. I ended up spending a few hours going through the old threads and just realized that 80's were overkill unless i was putting a turbo on it. And i saw like 25 threads between here and CGP that said they idle like sh1t like GTP said above. Just looking out for you bud.

And i guess i just have a lead foot with my 60's in my setup. Last two tanks for me on them have been like 11 mpg mixed driving. Was getting like 15 with the 42's. Guess i like the 3.0 better.
