I've been running E85 for a few years now.  Swapped rears this year to push the point I went through the lights from 5K to 6K to find out i was running out of fuel at the top of the track.  My build is nothing crazy.  390 (30 over) with Comp 280 cam and port and polished Eddy heads.  13:1.  Running a Holley dyna mat pick up.  -8 lines.  450 lph pump.  Holley Terminator EFI.  I needed to go to 200 pound injectors.  The 80 pound at 60PSI still could not feed enough.  Ran out of time this year to get back to the track...  No issues with the E85 except for the sheer volume you need.

Guys, did any of you check the mating surface of the pro Flo manifold for flatness? I've been reading about issues with edelbrock quality control. I should have checked mine before I installed it. I falsely assumed edelbrock would put a straight edge on it before boxing it up.

Yes. Mine was beautiful.

Checked mine today after seeing your post.   Dead nuts flat.

you'll eventually pay for it...
and not have it.

That's good to hear I'm going to chance it and leave it on. Thanks
