Default Fuel system question

Ok I am trying to figure my fuel system out. Here is my setup:

Stock LQ9
LS9 Cam
Rod bolts, head studs
t76 turbo

My goal is 650-700whp

I plan on running E85, but dont know what fuel pump to go with. I have seen alot of people make 800+whp with the bosch 044 300lph pump.

Also, what injectors?

I think you will need more than that to run E85 and over 800 HP. I would suggest a good in tank pump with a BAP and a secondary pump like the Bosch or an Aeromotive 500 or 1000. You will need some low resistance injectors or some very large flow high resistance ones. It takes a good bit more flow for E85 than for regular fuel.

I would talk to the place that I got the inj and the pump set up from. Also if they didnt know I would go with a diff set up and not with them if they didnt know there stuff any better.. Give one of the vendors that does the turbo a call on the E-85 set up.
