Default E85 on larger injectors

So if I installed larger injectors that matched how much more you would need to flow for e85 and put in a larger fuel pump, would this work on a stock ecu?

No. Simply. No. The stock ECU will not handle neither the largest objective, nor the E85 fuel

It might run but why even convert to e85 just to run a stock ecu? The whole point of e85 is a higher knock threshold and cooler combustion temps for higher compression. If your building a motor then just tune it and get the most out of it.
