I have a ZL1 fuel pump with ID 850 injectors and E85 would it be beneficial to upgrade to a larger fuel rail.

Not sure it would help a lot but it looks cool. I used the Holley one and it worked perfectly.

Its all in the functionality and need...Me personally no way would I run Ethanol in my daily N/A ride but they shove some in the fuel and someday that may change as it is in reality doing nothing but actually hurting the environment.....

Trumps EPA and such have even began to dump Ethanol production down the tubes...but all the dirt they turned to grow the corn well it unleased like 50 years worth of drivings co2....wonderful greenies are usual dumb as hell...so now the farmers are whining about the lack of places to sell the corn too as refineries ditch it...

Now if you have a real need to dilute your oil with all the fuel you have to spray and make more often fill ups with the Corn you would be much higher than normal compression to even see it being worthwhile......and usually Forced Induction trying to cool stuff down, other than that the minor amount gained for Corn its not worth it especially when it comes to engine longevity...…….IMO You want a larger fuel rail go for it, Me...I would wonder what gain for what price …… and what is the maintenance issues that come with it....No one here in Oregon the land of the best farm land in the country Literally likes Corn its not at any stations we just have high octane no Corn for more...… And have to deal with the corn messing with all our small engines and even large screwing things up and not exactly cushioning valves well.....

No gain in aftermarket rails other than the cool factor.

agreed

at much higher flow requirements (i.e racecar) it might help, but not what you're looking at.
