2001 corvette fueling
I have a 2001 Corvette with heads, cam, and a ProCharger running 10 lbs of boost. It’s equipped with 100 lb DeKa injectors, a 450 fuel pump, and a Boost-A-Pump. Would this setup support running E85, or would I need to upgrade the fuel pump and injectors, or just the pump or nothing?

Fuel delivery needs will depend on how much HP you will be making, or planning to make.
Single 450 lph pump on E85 I'd say would be about 650 crank HP or so max, takes about 30% more E85 than normal 93 pump gas to feed the same HP engine.

I’m wanting to make the most hp possible on the 10 pounds.

The injectors will probably cover it, the pump would be borderline it all depends on where it ends up for power and how the pump/lines workout with the high voltage. I would think on e85 you could make 650-700whp or more, but it would go a bit further on lower E content like e70 etc. I'd say monitor fuel pressure and give it a go, make sure all filters are new, etc.
