Yes it does. Yes you are correct that you need a larger volume of E85 at any given power level since it takes more energy and heat to combust. The issue is, that while the stock pump may be capable of pushing enough fuel to make 400whp on 91 or 93 oct, as many MK6 guys have done, it will not be able to flow enough volume of higher ethanol content fuel to make that same 400whp. But the other thing to keep in mind is the energy density of ethanol is far greater than 93 oct, even 100 oct, which also means that it has the potential to create more power at those same fuel volume levels.
I logged all the fuel pressure and injector parameters running E70 which I posted in this thread a while back.

The fueling looked solid in all respects, but I'm only making 290whp/335wtq. Allroadcorbin and Earythmic are running the APR k04 E85 tune, Allroadcorbin made 320whp/400wtq and If we looked at his fueling, I bet his HPFP graph would be dropping off. It's like asking the HPFP to give you 5% more fuel to make 20whp but it can't.
That's why I'm curious to see how far the stock HPFP will go. I re-read "slowone" big turbo thread and at one point while diagnosing fueling the shop was able to make 400whp(at 5280') on 91 with the Loba HPFP. @26psi. They put the stock pump back in and it couldn't keep up on that tune. But he was in Denver at 5280' so if you correct those numbers, 400whp at altitude was more like 440whp at sea level and thats why the stock HPFP wasn't enough.
