Assuming you're not using stock injectors, you can. However no guarantees on the longevity of the pump.

Cheers,
Matt

Yes, but it will most likely not be enough to support anything over 450 to 500 rwhp. Remember E85 requires about 30% more flow.

I have the same stock pump running e85. I run it with direct alternator power and a ken belle BaP. I'm about maxed out at 560rwhp.

what are you guys running for a fuel filter.
I run a external pump also, with a mesh filter, but i'm concerned about the stock filter and E85. paper filter and E85, is a bad combo
