Anyone running E85?

Is anyone one running E85 on there LSx swap? I have heard the LSx are fine with the E85 but Im not sure about the rest of the truck. I know I need more fuel but with the turbo Im going to need more anyway.

Just make sure that it isn't running through any steel lines or parts with steel. It will corrode steel pretty quick.

with the turbo AND e85 you will need ALOT of fuel. Make sure you have a pump (and lines) that can support that volume of fuel, as well as making sure the injectors can support the volume of fuel you need to move for e85
