I believe nxcoupe is running 42's in his windsor powered GT on E85.

What sort of compression are you running? With 9lbs of boost the 42's might be borderline. To be safe you'd want to go with 60's. You will also likely need a bit more than a single 255 pump wise.

I would try it first with the injectors and pump that you have. You might be ok..you might not. I think the fuel pump will run out of flow for you first before the injectors do.

The compression is just a touch over 9 to1 the heads are only milled 20 thousandths would it be worth the money to buy the bigger injectors an a external inline pump

How about a Anderson 340 pump? Would that b a big enough single pump

I think the 340 would be big enough, but I am not familiar enough with it to know for certain.

For a stockish efi car....dyno tune and a fuel system (injectors,pump) that can supply at least 30% more fuel volume than regular gas.

so possibly bigger injectors an more than likely a bigger pump an obviously have it tuned will the gains be noticeable
