Agree.... E85 LOVES Heat!! As you mention it needs the heat to properly vaporize. Honestly in the cooler months you are better off to dial back the Ethanol content. I have found my vehicles run better with E50-60 in them when it's cold out. E is intercooling on its own. You can throw MAT numbers out the window when running it. That is pump gas talk.

Ported stock blower running Ethanol is a stout combo to 8-850whp. The 2650 is a good option for pump gas road course cars, but other than that totally not needed unless the plan is to go 900+.

Far as fueling, I seen that prices have dropped on HPFP and Injectors, but the right play might be to wait for the DSX port setup and opt for the Katech dual drop-in low side. Run E whatever in the summer, Drop it back to E50-60 in the winter.
