Default A couple fuel pump and hobbs switch questions

I have a couple of questions on fuel pumps but first here is my setup:

421 CID (4.03 bore X 4.125 stroke)
E85
95# Deatschwerks injectors
FAST 102
14.8:1 compression
242/252 .629/.629 113 lsa camshaft
AI 232 cc 243 heads (2.055 intake/1.55 exhaust valves)

I have a dual pump set up and I can't find any information on using hobbs switches for the second pump on NA applications, I know it is a pressure or boost switch so does that mean for NA I should just run both 255s all the time, meaning it isn't needed for NA? I know with e85 and my mods a single 255 will not keep up. I am also considering just ditching the dual pumps and going with the AEM 320 e85 pump, do you think that would be enough for my application?

Cable throttle? If so, a N2O trigger switch, a relay/wiring to handle the pump load demands.

Yes cable throttle. The trigger switch would work related to fuel pressure right, meaning it would turn the pump on at a particular fuel pressure? Any idea where to get one I can't seem to find one. That way it should come on when needed right? I just have no idea as far as what fuel pressure I would set it to come on at.

..Hello I just read your post and really need your help if you have figured out your hobs switch...I'm running a ls3 in my 2k camaro my set up is fairly close to yours..exept I will be running nos...I bought the 2 pump drop in fuel pump assy.. with the wiring kit and they included a 4psi. hobs switch to turn on the 2nd fuel pump when needed. since I'm running NA at 610 hp at the crank I should only need just the 1 255 pump I would think.. but would really like to know how you solved the problem on how and where you put the hobs switch to get the 2nd pump to turn on....any help on the issue I would highly appreciate it
