E85 on a Maggied / cammed 5.3 gained an honest 50 Rwhp on the dyno. Wish I had e85 more readily available and larger injectors !

You will get a nice gain, however plan to redo your whole fuel system to support the E85.

Ya I'm getting Bosch 70 LB injectors if it all works out. The existing mallory 110FI fuel pump I think should be enough. Possible fuel line change though. Summit doesn't think there steel braid line will work with E85. There are a lot of opinions on the corrosive issue.
