the seals do worry me though. if they arent Vitron? then E85 will eat it. older cars get "the black sludge" where E eats everything!! i dont think you can tell this on a 370 though since we dont have a return fuel system. on older cars or return system cars its really easy to see as your sock will be solid black with tar, or it wont.
im getting a tune soon with the ported everything then again later with E and injectors and possibly fuel pump. like everything on a Z just sit back and wait a while haha.
PS...how hard is it to pull the lower manifold? can i leave the fuel rails attached to the car or do i have to pull it out of the way and relieve the pressure in the lines?

You will not want to run 1000cc's on stock pump without boost. You will atomize like crap and will have more like a jet stream then a mist and you probably wont be able to hold an idle.
You will have to pull the rails and you will have to relieve the pressure. There is a hardline that connects the feedline to the rails that needs to be taken off. It is super easy to access though. Its right in front.

Well I have always seen that anything over 80 is just a gamble. Yes you can run them at 100%. But that is unsafe and if your pump doesn't hold a perfect voltage, which it wont, then you are just waiting for trouble. My tuner wont let me take mine over 80 and he knows his shiz.
