build or not to build???

question for all the experts

current mod list is
old fp green
ets fmic
id 1000cc
walboro 255
br tbe
hks 272
injen uicp and intake with maf
nisei licp
ported br intake and exhaust mainifolds
65mm ported stock tb
apr head studs

i made 382awhp and 340 torque on a dynapack on 93 pump 23-24psi

debating to e85 on this setup and stock block
would the walboro and id1000cc work on e85? is my act xtss clutch gonna be enough?
stock block ok?

second I go fp red drop pistons,rods,bearings,gsc2 cams,springs retainers, exedy twin,
bigger injectors, walboro 400, e85 ect.

cheaper to try e85 on this turbo obviously.
block has 78k on it and never had issues

do u think I should run e85 for the low cost and have no downtime and will I be safe on the stock block or just pay and be safe and build and get some nice numbers on e85 with the red?
tune and e85 under a grand compared to possibly 6-7k for build and say 100-125 awhp more with red.

Honestly its all up to u...... I think with the id 1000's and walbro 255 u could easily make 420-450 before maxing out duty cycle on injectors ive got pt 1200's and am at about 80-82% idc at about 380hp/380tq e85. As for the clutch ive got an ACT street disk and xtreme pressure plate, but it's pretty much brand new and no problems when i was making 400/390 I think that combination is rated for around 420 wtq from what ACT said. The stock block should be fine for what power ur gonna make with a green, just don't floor it at 2000 rpms in 4th and 5th gear cause ur rods arent gonna like the big torque spike at low revs. If you want to get aggressive with the tune and torque then drop some rods and pistons in. If u build it though I'd go with a black and skip the red if ur wanting to stay with the fp stock frame, but personally i'd go with a "real" turbo, but all up to u lol. U can get away with a little bit higher compression and help spool bigger turbos a bit quicker as well, especially on ethanol.
