cnc the heads and get the flow and compression up to match that cam.

I gained 20whp from 4000-5200 rpm albeit only 6 at peak. So running a fuel that costs less even with the mpg hit is a win win. The power from e85 doesn't come fully from the octane. E85 burns much cooler and cleaner than gas. So not only are you able to run nor timing in the peak tq areas but the cooling helps to generate the power. The cleaning effect of e85 also keeps carbon buildup down.

I have a LS3 with Z28 CAI and headers, Bo White S2 TB, and 1LE Dual modes with a Z28 dual modes in the wings. I'm thinking about the GPI rod mod intake with a insulator. Not looking for monster gains just something safe, dependable, and streetable.

It has everything you need to convert to e85 the g8 uses the same pcm you just might need some different fuel fittings. Dedicated motorsports also makes a direct bolt on kit for these cars but it's pricey. I pieced mine together for about 150 bucks.
Also the stock fuel pump should be fine if you just have bolt ons. If you start getting into cammed territory you may want to upgrade.
Fwiw this is my bolt on z06 on e85 and pump. You'll see peak is only about 6whp better but in the midrange it gained 20/20
