What are people doing for fuel injection tuning and ethanol fuel?

I have a 96 dodge 5.2 that I'm putting in a off-road truck. Going to add a supercharger later on but want to get it running on ethanol first. Was wondering what people are using and their experience.

for a 5.2 magnum going ethanol you'll need a flex fuel sensor to let whatever ECU or standalone you're running adjust in real time. Holley Sniper or MegaSquirt are both common for older truck builds like this. for the sensor itself, Dynosty sells a flex fuel sensor with ±1% accuracy that works with prettty much any ECU setup.

You don't need to have a flex fuel sensor, that's only really necessary if you are going to be switching between E85 and pump gas. Anyways, to OP, what people are "doing" for fuel injection tuning with e85 is to just increase fuel by about 40% and tune it from there. It isn't really any different to tune than regular pump gas.

Are you wanting to switch to EFI? I assume so. Fitech, holley...etc have efi kits for that 318.
I think edelbrock has multiport injection kits with rails, manifolds, TB....etc.
If not efi, you are looking for an ethanol carb around 1000cfm

The engine is already multi port fuel injection.

Copy.
Start looking at the terminator max and fueltech.
Tons of fast guys running those.
