Captain! is an unknown quantity at this point
E85 is awesome. One of the cars I helped build is using 1000 cc rc engineering injectors on a ka-t and is putting down 436 whp with lots of room to grow. The best part about this fuel is it realtive cool burn meaning you can run a much leaner mixture.

A good estimation for injector sizing is to add a third. This comes from the fact that e85 has about 3/4 the energy density as normal gas. So if you are using 600cc injectors you will need 800cc injectors to supply the necessary fuel. Most common injector size is 1000cc just because they are easy to find.

Rc engineering has some great injectors and due to their design allow you to keep a realatively low idle rpm.

Just my 2 cents.
