Default E85?

I just purchased my first Corvette(2016 Z06) and I am wanting to run straight E85. From research I've done, I see the HPFP is not the strongest and I will possibly lose rail pressure. Is my only choice a cam swap with bigger fuel lobe and/or low side fuel pump? Has anyone ran straight E85 without a cam swap, if so what was your mods and how has rail pressure been. Here is a list of supporting mods Im thinking about:

2" Headers
CAI
160 Thermstat
Lower Pulley
Maybe a upper pulley as well.

Thanks in advance

I do and all that's required is meth for additional fueling. Even with a cam swap, meth is required. I'm on stock cam
