I'm building a carbed 408 for my street/strip 84 camaro. The car weighs about 3350 w/driver. My goal is to run low 10's N/A. The basics of the combo are callies rotating assembly, solid roller cam(to be speced once head flow data is available and compression ratio determined), Trick Flow 220cc as cast heads (fully hand ported), Vic Jr., th-350 trans, 4.30 gears. I'm taking the block to the machine shop this week and still haven't purchased any of the engine internals so I can still go any direction I want to.
I orginally was planning on 93 octane pump gas and a compression ratio of 11.5:1. I'm debating if it would be worth it to raise the compression and go with E85 with my power goal in mind? The only downside is that I would have to replace my fuel lines(currently have 8an braided which are probalby not E85 compatable), fuel pump, and regulator.

What pump and regulator would you recommend if I go with E85?
