E85??? Is it worth it? And if so what mods do I need to safely run it?

I have a 2013 7AT and I’m trying to end up somewhere between 320-400 hp. I saw some yt. Videos recently that suggested that VQs take really well to e85 and it would give me somewhere between 10-30 extra hp depending on what tuner and other mods I have. Is it worth it? I found a good deal on a fuel pump and some injectors already just wana know before I buy them. Also wana know if there’s any other mods I should put on with the e85 to prolong the life of the engine/get more hp/be safe

Need a set of catch cans and you will be changing the oil every 2000 miles. When you do change the oil it will smell like the town drunk. As far as whp, only expect 320whp to 330whp. That's it depending on your mods. So, in reality it is not worth it for a NA car.

I feel the whole E85 on a NA Z is social media pops and bangs clout related. You really don't see significant gains with e85 until you're boosted.

Quality parts + a good tuner on 93 pump will get you in the 320 to 330whp. Look at my sig, only 3 mods Z1 CAIs, Test Pipes and Motordyne TDE. I'm knocking on 330whp without E85. I just need to add Ported Upper and Lower Intake Mani and LTH and I'll be over 330whp with a retune.
