Upgraded fuel pumps and auxiliary injectors with a piggyback for the aux fueling. It will be awhile before the factory high pressure fuel pump will flow enough to support E85 at any decent power (if ever).
I'm working on a setup for the big HP guys that will support 600-1K HP on E85 for the guys who are truly desiring to be the best.
Probably will cost around $5K for the fuel system but it will allow you to go big!

I've already decided when I get a new job in two years, I'm trading my truck in on a 2014 GTR with the Track Pack... These trucks are fast, but if you really want to go fast on a budget, GTR is where it's at. I'm not going to waste a heap of money building my truck to run mid to low 12's. Tune, intake, thermostat, and downpipes; that'll do for now. I'll probably run low 13's, and that's fine by me.

That and a Factory Five '33 Ford.

This is kinda funny looking back. Doing an e85 mix was the only reason I bought the Southern Speed tunes. I even logged a 30% e85 mix that was responded to...needs more boost. That was the end of it for me. I'd be curious to see what you could do with it. I've moved on to race gas tuning...112 and 116 octanes. Good luck with your work.

And how are the race gas tunes working out? Interested in hearing more about that....

I've been running a mix of E85 with my new turbos lately. I upgraded my pump to the Walbro 450, haven't seen any issue with it yet. I haven't tuned for it though, I just let the computer add the timing and whatnot that it wants. Knock has also been cut in about half from what I've seen in my logs

I'm not using Southern speed. They will do what you want though. Might test out this race gas tune Saturday. Holding 21-22psi but the 1/4 mile will tell if its fast...feels good though.
