    Okay, back on topic for a second...

    Assuming someone does the 42.5 injectors because they can't tune, is there any advantage to doing a hard reset on the PCM once the e85 is in the system? Or just drain tank, swap injectors, fill with corn gas and go?

    Good question.

    The answer is not really... you mostly just want to take it easy and roll into about 40% throttle a bunch of times before you get carried away with hard core racing.

    Yup. I have one. Did that before anything else. I could put that in my sig. Mine is set to cyclic scan and the lights to come on at 3° of KR. I don't see the lights near as much since headers and CAI.

    You're not going to see a real benefit from e85 until the you tune for it.

    I get that you won't see the maximum benefit out of e85 without a tune. But it sounds like for those of us without a tuner (yet) the ease of the swap with the admitted limited benefits make it still worth doing.

    Is there a preferred make or vendor for the 42.5 injectors?

    If buying used are there ones to look for or avoid?

    Pretty much all the vendors sell the lucas 42lb-ers FWIW... ZZP/Wbody store are about the same price. Whoever is cheaper I guess. I've had great customer service from both companies.

    Those look like someone went full retard trying to get the connector off the injector with a screw driver or something.
