Yea obviously more boost will make more power than more timing I'm just trying to get my engine in a more efficient range by increasing the timing. I'm really liking the E85

How hard was it to get the triple 12 cam from stock4.8? I sent him a PM but haven't heard anything back yet, but it hasn't been too long. I'm not in a major rush but I'd like to change cams.

Not hard at all. I sent him the payment for my cam and springs and it was ground waaaay faster than when I went through EPS. Send him another PM or wait until after the holidays cause he had pretty good communication with me. Are you running the stock cam right now?

No man, I'm running a 222/226 113 cam I installed in 2010.

Because the larger cam isn't going to provide any benefit over the smaller cam. I'm not spinning much past 6000-6200 rpm. The baby cam will push the turbo harder and get it online faster. Plus I just want to try something different.

Significant changes are upcoming:

Adding a second walbro 450 on a separate hotwire kit to be triggered by my Eboost controller

Gonna see how far my stock fuel lines and rails will go on E85. Also gonna try and tap out the s475. Bigger fuel injectors will be needed or I will have to run a lower % of ethanol

Remove my MAF and get a separate iat sensor, concerned about blowing the Maf apart.

Swap to all aluminum 34" 2 row radiator and factory fans so I can run my A/c in the summer without temps going to 215* at idle. I don't like my engine running more than 180*.

Change cam to Triple 12.

Gear swap 4.10 to 3.42.

Waiting on release of the 15" wheels from race star.

Can you take a **** ton of pictures when you do your dual pump set up. I'm interested to see how you do it. Plus we have the same bucket and hat so it will really help me out when I do mine.

The bucket is basically going to be all hogged out. Just leaving enough of the base to support the pumps. I will be using corrugated plastic tubing and an SS Y fitting to merge both pumps in tank. I plan to drill a hole in the hat to feed the power wires and then seal it with some sort of fuel safe sealant. Very basic stuff here nothing fancy. Just trying to see how far I can go on the stock lines and rails. But I'm sure I'll be doing that sooner than later too.

The pumps will have to be stacked on each other to fit in the bucket correct?
