Default FI with 11.1 comp ratio? Whats needed?

I already have a Hurron Speed turbo piping kit. Bought it for my camaro build but ended up buying a 99 WS6 with a 408 and 11.1 CR. I thought putting nitrous on it would be a good idea but I really want to go FI. Would it be possible to go FI with this set up? I know I'll have to change the cam but what else would be needed? Could I do it with pump gas or e85? Let me know your ideas. Thanks

E85 or c16 plus meth I would say. So you would need a healthy fuel system

Is there any cons to running FI with that sort of compression? Would I only be able to run a certain amount of boost?

I dont know if it helps to tell you guys or not but I have flat top pistons with valve reliefs. Any problem with that?

Stainless top piston ring? You can do it on 93+a lot of meth but youll be limited boost wise. It will make great power and spool really fast with the right turbo thanks to the compression. If you can go E85 thats the way to do it. Also depending on your head gaskets you may be able to go with a thicker one to drop the compression a bit.

So do I have to worry about the ring gap or anything? I'd like to know what all could be a problem. I know I'll have to upgrade the fuel system and change cams, but what else
