Here is a quick run down of my combination.

89 5.0 with Novi 1000 8-10lbs of boost. Not sure of boost yet because of fuel prob.
42lb inj. ( no FMU )
Holley intake
AFR 165 heads
E-cam
Aeromotive billet fuel reg.
BBK mech. fuel pressure gauge.
Stock bottom end with 100,000 miles.

I switched to the 255lph pump with 42lb inj. so that I could eliminate my FMU while maxing out the Novi 1000. It's putting out about 420fwhp right now. I made the fuel upgrades so that I could support 500+fwhp without an FMU. It put down 355rwhp on a mild tune with 5- 6 lbs of boost and the wrong FMU calibration. I will be happy with 400rwhp as soon as I figure out my fuel problem.
