I am running the TEC 3R on a Ford 3.8 SC V6 with a whipple 2.3 supercharger. I have started the change over to E85, anyone running a similair confiuration? I am calculating that I need 150 lbs/hour injectors; do you think I could get it to idle or should I run another set of injectors, maybe pre supercharger?

I am running e85 with 150 lb injectors on my 3 liter Datsun. It does idle pretty well, but I am at the limit as far as the min injector on-time goes. You will probably have it a bit easier with 3.8 liters.
One thing I found with the 150lb injectors (I believe they were from a Ford application - same ones you find on eBay) is that they require a surprisingly high min on-time setting, in the neighborhood of 1.5 mS. They will respond down to ~1 mS, but they tend to dribble the fuel out at those pulsewidths, so you get really wild swings in AFR, from say 11:1 to 19:1. Setting the min on-time higher really tamed that behavior.

It will be even easier to get it to idle if you are running sequential.

Yep. Mine currently is running full sequential, too.
