   Rob,

   Thanks. I did a Google search and found lots of info and useful
   PDFs. This
   injector can run on 100% ethanol as well. No luck with finding tech.
   specifications on actual components yet.

   Joel,

   Do you know the duty cycle and flow specs for that particular model
   number?
   I will need a total of four injectors for the one/half Leman's
   engine I am
   building. If I run E-85 then they will have to have 20% more
   capacity or run
   at a higher duty cycle. I am guessing the ones above may be to small
   as the
   300 hp 5.3L engine has eight of them.

   It is interesting to note that USA auto manufactures produced over 2
   million
   Flex fuel autos last year. The number of service stations across USA
   where
   you can actually buy E-85? .... about 174 locations.

   Doug,

   I don't have any info on the specs for the injectors.  I was able to
   get the part number from the dealer parts dept although they don't
   even stock the part. However it is available from Delphi.  My GM
   source has left the Automotive Dept. here at Mesa College, so I
   don't have any links to the proving grounds at the current time.

   Joel.

Too bad. That is a fun place to drive :) I tested some cars out there for Pontiac.
