Does anybody here run E85 through their throttle body EFI system? I'm building a 408 Magnum small block for a friend and he is asking me about running EFI and what brand he should buy and which one is compatible with E85. Thank you Gus

Thanks Andy I can't find too much information about throttle bodies with the larger injectors already installed for E85. One less thing for me to do when I set this thing up and get the engine and fuel system installed. Gus

Holley doesn't recommend E85 with the Sniper products, not sure about the Terminator. Some racers use E85 with the Holley Sniper but they flush the system after each race.

He would probably be better off with some kind of port injection setup where he can use an E85 safe injector. It costs more in the long run but would probably be cheaper than whatever may fail that was not designed for E85 inside of a sniper.

It's just going to be a regular old street car with maybe 450 HP cam is going to be low end torque cam. He just wants a turn key street car with reliable smooth performance. I think he should just go with a dual plane intake and a Thunder series AVS carb but he wanted to check into the whole EFI thing. Gus
