What fuel pumps are safe for use with E85?

I'm at a loss here. Does anyone know if any of the "high performance" fuel pumps that work w/LS1 F-bodies are compatible w/ E85?

You're goin to need something in the lines of a BG race pump. There isn't a pump that is a direct fit that will keep up with the amount of fuel you'll need.

What's the flow rate of the pump offered on E85 Trucks with the 5.3?

My understanding is that it doesn't flow a drastically different amount of fuel than the gasoline only set-up.

I think you're right. I was thinking the flow was more like an alcohol system, but it's way less. I would try and ask Aeromotive, and just see if their pumps are compatible.
