CAMARO6 - View Single Post - What all do I need for fuel in a 16ss? (whipple, bolt ons and e85)

700hp on a Whipple isnt going to be easy at all, you will have issues with the heat exchanger at the minimum.

You are going to need the whole LT4 fuel system, in tank pump / high side pump / injectors. Even then you wont have the headroom to run E85 reliably and get to 700rwhp. You could do it on gas but as said you will need meth injection.

Every shop I checked out said the same thing, running full on E85 with no meth and making near 700rwhp isnt going to happen without a secondary fuel system if you want it reliable.

Also, at 700rwhp you are going to need to worry about pistons as well, they are weak in and around the wrist pin location and tend to want to break the ring land out in that area once you get near or over the 700rwhp range.
