Default what does it take to build an e85 fuel system that will support 600whp?

I'm just wondering about this, what type of pump, materials, etc should be used. Can the stock lines support this level of fuel flow? I'm guessing they can, but the fittings might be somewhat of a restriction? I know the walbro pump wouldn't be adequate, but I don't know what pump to use instead..recommendations?
Are the stock rubber hoses ok with e85? And finally, as far as the fpr, what type should be used? Is the diaphragm in the stock one compatible with e85? If it is, I would think that using 2 stock fpr's would be fine. Modifying the rail to accept 2 of them might be kind of weird, but I like using quality stock parts if I can..

the problem is e85 producing less energy per unit than gasoline, so it takes about 1.5 times the amount of e85 to make the same energy as gas. You would most likely need 1000-1200 cc and a really good pump, prolly an a1000 but maybe the walbro could do it, ive never done it but some people on here have.

I was figuring the injectors would have to be somewhere around maybe 1400cc, (?) but what I really don't know about is the rest of the fuel system.
