    Oh, you have the feed routed reverse! How safe is that? Because IIRC the OEM feed starts on the drivers side. Wouldn't that mess tuning up with a reverse flow?

    I have never heard it matters. Fuel flows through the whole rail at the same pressure so im not sure where that theory comes from?

    Can you link me to an article? I am going to see if I can find anything about it.

    No that wouldn't matter at all. Tuning is based off fuel pressure and it doesn't really matter in which direction it gets there. As long a the fpr is after the rail from the feed side your good to go.

    Great build! I was wondering if those cams will help out or not? I have been told and read that oem cams are the best but never seen any turbo cams tested.

    IIRC, this is the low down: OEM cams are best in terms of the yielded benefits, because most turbo cams are very aggressive and the nominal power difference on a DD isn't worth the work.

    Mine are NA Stage 2 cams. They work great for my DD

    NA cams on a boosted build? Why?

    It was suggested by Brian Crower when I was planning my order for the turbo cams. He stated that the NA cams were making big numbers on turbo set ups by other customers.

    I am not convinced as of yet since im running 20psi and only making 443hp. But im also not done with tuning. I am going to dyno tune next week.

    Finally got my Dyno Chart! The difference in power is me adding more timing on the dyno between pulls. I got it up to 17 degrees with no knocks

    I dynoed again today and made 455HP but my clutch slipped. It stunk like a burn out at the race track

    I will post pictures and video later. I will replace the clutch next weekend.
