Default fuel pump question

hello i have a 2008 silverado 5.3 that is supercharged on 12 lbs currently im on my stock flex fuel pump that came(factory) in the truck im maxing out my 60# injectors but the fuel pressure is rock solid at 58lbs, im planning on upgrading my injectors to a set of id1050s and running the truck on e85..... does anyone know how far you can go on a flex fuel pump or will i need to upgrade the pump and if so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

Must be pretty rich to already max out 60lb's on pump gas and still have fuel pressure.

They say 500-550whp on pump gas is the upper limits on a FF pump.

You will be out before that on E85.
