Cant see why you won't if it 60's. To be honest I'm so happy with this as a daily I'm not sure how much more I'm going to do for a while bc the damn fueling is so expensive on these DI trucks. After the custom tune I'm pretty happy. I'll be watching your setup

First congrats on a cool truck and a sweet new blower for it , its an awesome feeling having forced induction, nothing like it .
I wouldnt worry about meth at this time/stage in your build till you up the boost aways , on a non DI setup when your at 12psi or above is a good time to start thinking meth with a blower setup.
An aftermarket cam with an agressive fuel pump lobe , Z06 pump and injectors will take your fuel system a ways .
Last fall there was a new stingray , with Z06 fuel system and aftermarket cam, Procharger only running 10.3 on street tires at 8psi and more room to go fuel wise i was told .
You start smiling when you get up to 10psi , cam , exhaust . That blower you have wants to be pullied down so it can eat !
My next project is going to have 2.9 .

A 10 sec c7 vette and our trucks are not a good comparison not even same category.
600 is about the top of fuel system especially if you plan on e. The only way vettes are running 700+ threshold is that they are running a shitload of meth or have a secondary port injection fuel system running on a standalone. This obviously doesnt take into account forged internals also, some get it done others are on borrowed time.
I just got a icebox that fits in our spare battery tray which i would recomend, and just run meth with a big tank under the bed for a dd street truck. If you want to run e then go with an upgraded pump.

Yeah I've learned a lot more on the limitations of the fuel system since last year. I am thinking no E85 for this. I hate to even go to headers because of noise and possible leaks even though I know its holding it back severely. I am considering a cam or meth and pulley without headers. Just hate the expense and labor of pulling the blower off to do the pump and injectors at this point so I'm moving very slowly. Looking to break 7's as is (I hope) and its my daily so taking time to think it through and watch others results too.

I am going to keep the stock manifolds and make a legit y pipe, right now its just the gutted cats w/ 3rd removed and like mentioned somewhere else it took more timing just uncorking that. I would like to do headers but same thing for a DD that is just too much noise for taking grandma to bingo or picking up customers for work.
I am flex fuel setup but was capped at 6psi with e85ish blend on stock fuel system.
The caltracs and and a set of king or fox 2.0 w/ my load leveling bags are next on the list not sure how the caltracs will play nice with a car hauler though btw.
Also getting a set of 4.11 gears w/ upgraded axles, w/ converter now so that should help without having to up the boost just yet.
