You will probably need a low side and even injectors for full E and a fuel lobe upgrade will be necessary for much boost or aftermarket blowers. All in all, I think a Meth setup may be a simpler and more straightforward setup that most tuners can setup very effectively. E85 requires around 30%-40% more fuel. So your octane goes up and price per gallon goes down, but your consumption and fuel system needs go vastly up.
seems like meth is a scary thing to do! what % can you run e85 with the just the kit? without presenting issues?
