Default E85 kits?

i have a 1999 GMC Sierra with a cammed 5.3 and I wondering if there are any companies that sell E85 kits.or what would I need. I know I’ll need new injectors, fuel pump, new lines, pcm flash. Would I need anything else, where would I get everything

Just a pump, injectors and a tune is required. The factory fuel lines are metal, you don't have to replace them and they will flow way more fuel than you would require on a cammed engine.

Why would the filler neck matter?

Rubber may degrade over time or may not be able to handle it

Show me a documented case and I'll believe it

Ive run e85 on a '93 Saturn system, bone stock everything except a 255, never an issue

I run e50 in a '91 MR2, completely stock everything and its been fine

I dont buy the hype of "e85 and incompatible materials." How many parts do you clean with rubbing alcohol/IPA, and never had an issue? I let e85 sit in a plastic bottle in my hot *** shed for well over 2yrs, and the bottle was still fine and pliable, and we still use that bottle for oil and trans fluid capture.
