Default Making the most of my existing combo-fuel wise...

07 silverado,4500 lbs,SBE 4.8,Comp.Cam 214 int. 226 exh. .559".569" 115 lobe sep.,LS7 lifters,LS2 timing set/damper
Pro Comp head studs,GM MLS gaskets,fresh 243 heads resurfaced -.030",PAC 1208x valve springs,single MP T76 on a Trick hot side,Procharger 4 core intercooler,Holley Hi-Ram,LS9 injectors/Walbro 450 in-tank.

Looking to do a max effort/boost tune this spring(not a daily)

I believe i will limited by by my injector size,my intercooler placement(low and kind of horizontal),maybe the IAT's,factory fuel lines and/or?

Wondering if i would have more success(power) doing a race fuel(C16?) tune or an E85 tune without changing any of my combo?
Thanks
Dom

I can't comment on the cam but everything else looks good besides the LS9 injectors. I'd go with some Deka 80s or get the LS9's reworked at Fuel Injector Connection. Fuel wise, I'd do 93 plus meth but that's just my $.02

Well it's pretty obvious that seeing as you are giving yourself a limited amount of fuel supply, the C16 is going to allow more power per unit of fuel regardless of all other factors.
