Anyone know how much power you can make on E85 with stock fuel pump and KB Boost-a-pump? I have ID1000's.

I am running 630whp right now on a paxton setup. I wanted to get a E85 tune.

Never run E85 to make more power. Run it to provide protection. Any power gains are just a benefit, but the major benefit is protecting your motor.
Also if you're worried about mpg at all then don't go E85 and spare us the bitching.

I understand all that already. Anyone running stock pump and E85 with a blower?

Kaane is your motor forged already? If not you're just about maxed out safety wise with stock internals. The block can handle around 750-800. Pumpwise I would talk to Kevin Dunn

Stock motor for now. E85 tune would be more for the extra octane for detonation prevention. Power is more than sufficient for now.
