higher flow injectors with supercharger and e-85

[calgator73]

Spoke to a rep from Whipple a little while back and asked whether adding their supercharger preserved the E-85 capability. He responded that the fuel system was maxed out with their 91 octane canned tune. I'm admittedly a little ignorant on how far we can go with E-85 but the benefits of E-85 in a boosted application seem huge. Not really sure if the bottle neck of the fuel system is the in-tank pump, the mechanical pump or the injector flow. Thoughts?

 

thanks!

It's going to for sure be the injectors at a minimum. It could be the in-tank pump and fuel filter as well. Probably not going to be the fuel lines, but it's possible.

When comparing the new LT4 in the z06 vs the LT1 in the base vette, the injectors, and high pressure fuel pump, as well as the high pressure fuel lines are all bigger. I don't know if the in-tank pump is different.
