im on a 3.1 pulley it's only boosting about 6-7 pounds, injectors are at 60% duty so i have plenty of more room what im worried about is the stock flex fuel pump even though magnuson told me i'll be allright if anything i'll get a kenny bell boost a pump...

i went with VHP Trucker cam, 216/224 .551/.551 115 lsa

I would keep an eye out for a KB BAP, got mine brand new for $150. Jon at Fuel Injector Connection told me the stock FF pump flow around 250gph.

Make sure to watch your IAT's as you pulley down.

I was running 11psi on my 04 with the Radix on a 2.9" pulley. I never replaced the pump (was FF as well). Never had an issue with her, and she would get up and go. Enjoy your new found horses!!

i've had 4.30's in my head all this time Max, i usually drive highway miles between 70-85 is usually what i do so i think 4.30 will be slightly lower on the RPM range then 4.56's. What gears do you recommend i've talk to ron's machine shop and he said motive gears.. is the way to go.
