Damn that should run great, sorry not good with fuel pressures when it comes to that much motor, thats when I enjoy my Holley. SHould be around low-mid 40s though. Your supercharger setup should boost fuel pressure under fiull acceleration so I dont think I would go to high to start with. Definitely get it on the dyno for a good tune though.

Um, Im pretty sure that 42 pounders will be a little large for your setup. My friend had the same setup but with a 17 lb Procharger and it was running like 9/1 A/F and JBA couldnt get it to tune. He ended up stepping down to 36's I think or something like that. The recommended the 42's for big strokers or really big boost engines. They pumped so much gas that it was actually getting way richer the higher the RPM's. Maybe JBA is wrong and I have a bum scoop but his car smelled like a lawn mower everytime he got on it.

Let me know how it goes with the 42's. I dont have much faith in JBA since they are stupid. I'd love for your combo to rock so I have more ammo against them. That beast should rock though.

wait im confused, why would you cap off the vacuum line leading to the fuel press regulator? doesnt the vacuum tube lower the fuel pressure when at lower rpms/idle?

He means to pull the Vac line and plug it (so there are no vac leaks) while adjusting fuel pressure.
