I would think so as long as you can hook the power you have. You should gain around 20 rwhp just with the headers and xpipe.

You can go 100%. You go thru it faster than regular gas tho.

It depends upon what other mods you have on the car and what % of ethanol your E85 really is. Locally, our E85 is really usually E66.

That is nuts.
Here in Florida we are usually 85-89 in summer. 85 in winter.

I test with a kit as I was told by a tuner the sensor\gauge is typically off a couple points....reads lower I believe.

Got my car back. My tuner said whoever tuned my car last screwed it up. When I started going into boost with the ECS supercharger, it would ping. He ended up deleting the file and downloading it from GM. He had to start over from scratch. He tuned it for 93 octane. The car starts better, feels awesome and no more pinging. He suggested Meth as a safely net for the engine. I'll probably do that later.

So far it's been amazing. The car sounds sick also. In touring mode it has a nice growl, but in sport ,Wow! Sounds so good. I have billy boat fusion exhaust. Very happy!
