Default is my fuel system enough?

I'm installing my A&A t trim on my 13 Grand sport in a couple weeks. Want to make sure I will have enough fuel to run E85. I have a KB BAP on the stock pump, an ecs stage 1 aux system with the 380 AEM pump and I'd 1050x injectors. Hoping to be in the 700 rwhp range.

Will also be installing a clutch at the same time. Leaning towards the RXT unless there is a better option around that price point

you will have enough fuel for this setup, but not much room for any other upgrades.

I hate my RXT clutch, it shutters bad taking off in 1st so I have to rev way up taking off. It holds the power though

Mantic 9000 for clutch

Fuel system will be ok, but if the stock FP or BAP dies, you maybe in trouble. I would look at possibly doing a system that isn't dependent on the BAP.

Not sure if you have them already but i don't see injectors. Which you'll probably need if you don't already.
Fore kit will give you a lot of headroom for future upgrades and more power. So although its a pricey piece its very nice and wont be touched again when you increase power or mods.
I don't have much experience with the RXT but should be fine for your application.

Looks like a very nice parts list that should easily get you to your goal!

Go for it, should be enough fuel but always keep your eye on the fuel pressure the higher levels of E at first. Check out the Monster clutches on our site. We've had really good success with them. They bit good and don't make much noise

I have a walbro 525 and 1050x injectors and making right at 710 wheel comfortably.... you should definitely have enough with the external pump ...only think I would be worried is if your stock intank is e85 compatible and how long will it last on E
