You're right, the kits are a rip-off for what they are. I simply found some injectors off eBay that had about a 20% +/- greater flow rate. For well less than $100 I got the injectors, new seals, and bypassed the injector resistor. The ECU automatically adjust for the larger injectors via the O2 sensor. So whether I'm running gas or E85 the engine is within stoiciometric limits. If you're thinking that "the a/f ratio is different for gas versus ethanol" then you're right, except the ECU adjust for lambda ~= 1 which is what gas and ethanol both like. Bottomline, throw in some larger injectors and you'll be all set (as long as the car has an O2 sensor...pretty much anything after 1988).
