Default My D1SC is here. Questions?

I have a 6.0 with stock 9.4 compression, long tubes, walbro intank 255, LS1 EDIT, and a Comp 212/218@114 camshaft. I have just ordered my 42's, they will be here in 2 weeks.
With my walbro and the inline pump that comes with the kit, will this be enough?
I have heard it is easier to tune the 42's with out the FMU that comes with the kit. Is this true?
Will the motor hold stock timing?
I have a 8 psi pulley and a prayer, help.

I think you should be fine as far as your fuel system, might want to look into a CAS fuel regulator.
I'm not sure how easy it is to work with the FMU, GWP used ls1-edit. The Ford green top 42# injectores work well with edit.

Thanks. I forgot, I dynoed my motor saturday. Off of the bottle it made 350rwhp and 351rwtq. With the blower will this be to much for the bottom end? The motor has 1,500 to 2,000 miles on it. What do you think it will make with boost?

I would put the FMU in the trash. Put the 42's in the car, and do real dyno tuning with LS1Edit. Have someone that knows what they are doing, not someone that thinks they know how.

Timing max will depend a lot on your fuel, your altitude, temperature, etc. My car (tuned to 91 octane) will only run 17 degrees WOT - anything more aggressive puts me immediately into a KR situation.
