Yes. This is wide-a$$ed assumption of fhere you limit might be. Don't take me by the words.

No. All pumps I have used had enough margins to sustain stock fuel pressure at increased flow. It might be a good idea to check with gauge first few runs though.

No. Heads removed from E85 motors had reddish color inside combustion chambers, probably from coloring agent used here in Sweden. US E85 might not be colored? E85 will make pink "gunk" when mixed with frothed crankcase brether oil but it only makes problems with carburated cars. Never had problems on EFI.

No, not personally. I only did WBO2 checks to see everything is in order. Other people did and repport slight decrease in EGT. Cylinder head temps should be proportional to EGT/timing.
