"New piping"? Things might have changed but I do not believe there's an off the shelf kit that's directly useable with a LSX turbo fox. At a minimum you're going to have to fabricate a cold side, whether you start from a universal kit or from scratch is up to your relative skill level. I'm sure by now there's aftermarket hot sides available.

Yup, much harder to make 750+ with that budget on pump gas. Injectors are basically the same price. Just need enough pump to support the injectors on E85.
Have you considered nitrous? A simple cam, intake, exhaust 5.3 with a 200 shot is pretty darn fun. MUCH easier too. You could even run some serious compression if you stuck with E85.
