Hey guys! I'm trying to piece together my fuel system to switch my Lincoln to E85 this spring. The car has a Vortech S-trim pushing 8 psi on a 3.48 pulley making low 400s to the wheels right now with a Snow Performance meth injection kit. The engine is still on stock tinker toy internals. I'm stuck on the fuel pump part of it and need direction.
The car currently has a 255lph Focus greentop in it. I purchased a 465lph walbro E85 turbine pump for it but came to find out through the grapevine that at least the pump hat assembly will not allow a 465 to fit in the tank if not the basket assembly as well. Can I run a boost-a-pump on the 255 and be good to go? Can I purchase a different basket and run twin 255s? Which way should I go? The car is probably not going to touch 500rwhp even on corn.
Another question, my buddy told me that I wouldn't even need to run the meth kit if I was on corn. What is your opinion there? The car DOES NOT have any front mount intercooler. Here is my fear there. The car has a 4-bank SCT chip which I fully intend on running a pump gas tune on as well for backup in case E85 is not readily available for whatever reason. That is when I think the meth is going to need to be there.
Also, one more question. I was dead set on getting Siemens Deka 80s for injectors until I talked with my buddy. He ran some online calculator and told me that I only need 60# injectors. What is your opinion there? 60s are good to go?
Thanks for any input!
