You can run leaner on e85 and make more power yes, but it still takes more parts of ethanol to be stoich. Stoich for e85 is 10:1. Which is 10 parts of air for 1 part of fuel. So a lot more fuel is required. When a wideband is reading e85 and shows 12.5:1 a/f ratio, that doesn't mean you have that a/f ratio (unless it is setup to read e85). Your actual a/f ratio would be more like 8.5:1 of e85. So again, That is a lot of fuel. I would say at the minimum 900-1000cc injectors to make 400+ whp, or a ton of fuel pressure. Either way, you will need bigger injectors in my opinion. What are you running now fuel system wise other than injectors?
