same setup I'm using on my custom built STS clone, except I have the boost turned down low until I get my fuel system done.-Sly

The X3 has so much over lap it would be piont less for u to put a blower on it. Need to look at a GT2-3 cam or something on those lines.

I might just try it. I see what u are saying. But once u hit max boost there is no more boost to pick up. If that is what u are trying to get at. I think the way to go is to try and stay away from overlap and try and keep the valves open as long as posible. Lots of lift to take advantage of the high flowing heads(if you have them). I do know that the GT2-3 cam is the cam that LPE uses in there 346 boost motors that make 550rwhp. Not sure on the PSI though.
