E85 and Stock Fuel Pump

I no longer have nitrous on the car. I am running N/A with mods listed in my sig. I'm looking to run E85. I know I need bigger injectors but will my stock LS2 fuel pump work or will it needed to upgraded to a Z06 pump? Any information would be helpful.

Thanks,
Andrew

Hey man, I have been looking into the same thing and from what I have found the stock pump will not work at our hp levels currently. Either a Z pump or better aftermarket pump are needed for sure. Again, I have not committed to this mod as of yet due to lack of stations but I have been reading and this is how I understand it to-date.

Lmk how it all works out for you. I have been itching to do this for a year but only one convenient e85 station near me for now.

Anyone have any recommendations? What about a KB BAP?

Don't do that man, do it right with an in-tank. I'm sure many have used them with good success but I wouldn't want to "short" the fuel system with it when I can do it right/better.
