I havent heard of anyone here needing to upgrade the injectors. Direct injection and the massive fuel pressure make for a high threshold, around 500hp.

the factory pump can easily support over 450 ft lbs of torque and more than 500whp at 6000 rpms while running gasoline<<<. This is taken from ZZPs website. Read more here: http://shop.zzperformance.com/store/...ge-1-Cams.aspx

I agree here full e85 on stock unit will max the injectors

sure thing. Multiple cobalts blow their injector seals running e85. I guess there are upgraded ones though

in order to safely run full E85 on stock turbo, get the ZZP 5th injector setup.
