What kind of top speed should I expect?? its in August so I'm sure the temps will be in low to mid 90's and I'm sure thats a factor.

With a blower added onto a stock LT1, I think that priority one would be helping out the piston rings. This would mean cooling things down. Since you say 580hp, my opinion is that your fuel system is at best already on the ragged edge, and possibly already losing some pressure. This means that E85 is totally off the table with your existing fuel system. Therefore I think that adding a water/methanol injection system and using windshield washer solvent would be a nice addition. This setup would be mainly for cooling, and the ~35% methanol could take the edge off the fuel system.
