Anyone tried doing this on the factory fuel lines?

I'm running E85 in my other car and it's great for pushing timing advance way up there(25-27*@WOT with small injectors), but my other car is a 2005, so it has fuel lines made to accept E85.

I have done some research on it and people are using the stock lines on there foxbodies and E-85 without issues.

The pros outweigh the cons in my opinion. All I had to change in my SRT-4 was injectors, fuel pump, wideband, get a way to tune it, and bam instant horsepower without having to do a bunch of bolt ons. With injectors that are too small I can push 25-27 degrees of timing advance at wide open throttle while keeping 10.8-11.2 afr.

I think the 5.0 would be an even easier transition because the computer is much more basic. Injectors/maf, pump, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, and a wideband should do it

Been running E85 for over a year now with stock lines. No issues at all.
