Default Trying to make 800whp will my combo do it?

Ok guys im going to give some details on my setup tell me if something needs changed before I waste time and money.
98 trans am currently is sbe ls1 with 317s and an on3 78/75 making 500whp through a th400 on pump gas. I'm about to change it up tho.

I have a gen 4 6.0 shortblock that I'm going to gap the rings and stick my btr stg 2 turbo cam in and mill the 317s a little and stick them on. Also going e85. New turbo will be the vs racing 88mm t4 because that's what my hotside already is. Now the reason for milling the heads is since it's a 98 and will only support a 2 bar map? I figured might as well bump compression up a little to get as much as I can out of the 15psi limit I can run? Thoughts opinions concerns are appreciated

Why not swap to a 411 ecm?? shouldn't have any hardcode limits and a faster processor. Way better computer than a 98 model. As for making 800whp, that shouldn't be an issue at all! if everything is set up right it should make that easy.
