Default E85 switch

I am getting ready to upgrade my fuel pump and injectors as I am installing my nitrous kit. I plan to shoot a 200 shot and since I am doing a pump and injectors I have been looking at switching to e85.

My car currently make 440hp and am still on stock pump, rails, and injectors.

Question is. If I get a e85 compatible pump and keep the stock fuel lines. Does anyone make a filter that I can swap in place of my regular filter that would be e85 capable? Also will my stock rails flow enough to handle e85?

My nitrous kit will have a stand alone. So I won't be pulling from the rail for that.

You do realize that E85 won't do much unless you can advance the timing and make more power doing so right?

From what I have read it has alot of advantages. And also making more overall power. The car will be tuned for the shot once it has all been installed. I just figure while I am upgrading pumps why not make the switch if I can find a inline filter to replace my stock one that is capable of supporting e85. Why not make the switch...

I've been running E85 for over 5 years and have no issue with the stock fuel filter. Depending on the size of the pump you choose, you will have to put a fuel regulator on it and a return line. I would recommend a 340 pump and a hot wire kit.
