450 Is enough, but just.
Comes out to 468cc ish for the additional fuel.

I am going to be running some E85 but a mix. Multiple tunes, straight 93, 50/50 mix and straight E85 depending on what I am running that day. But 93 for daily driving.

Just remember it is not going to save you much money, it is only going to allow you to have higher octane fuel for a similar cost to pump fuel.

Draw back is that you will be using more fuel. Don't think that you are going to save all this money switching to E85. It has been proven over and over again that E85 does not really save you much in fueling. But for us and other boosted applications you get high octane fuel that would normally be $7-13 a gallon for similar cost of 87 oct.
