I was raised also. Part of that was being able to accept a little good-natured ribbing. None of this is malicious.
In my experience, the twin turbo I had the exhaust gaskets were not enough like the other user said the imperfections ripped them right out until it destroys it, blood boils and WOT is activated a lot. Also when doing a axle hub gasket replacement on the 18 wheeler, if you do the gasket alone you risk it not being enough and doing the job all over again and add RTV; along with other jobs. I lost the Coolant crossover bolts and I got some from the hardware store so I put it on for safety.
Other than that, I was raised I didn’t just grow up. What I mean by that is I treat everyone the way I want to be treated and if I don’t have anything good to say I’d rather say nothing at all.
Can’t wait to get it started!
Im putting a 255lph fuel pump, right now it has a current tune with stock pump; anyone know if I should break it in that way??

What are you power goals. A single 255 isn't going to take you very far.

i want drivable power. But my question is
i put 36lb injectors and that 255 fuel pump, and I can’t really dyno tune the car for that yet. So it’s tuned for 32lb injectors and stock fuel pump
do you think that will be an issue?
TT is gone so I’d rather focus on the issue at hand.

That will be an issue unless you have very low power goals. Usually people go with 60# injectors at a minimum. A single 255 with a hotwire kit will get you about 500whp, maybe 550 depending on drivetrain loss, etc. If you're shooting for something low like 500whp, get the hot wire kit for the 255 and step up to 42 or 60 injectors.
I plan a strange 12 bolt with 18 inch z06 10.5 in wheels with 315 in the back. That’s about the HP I want I’m fine with 500whp I have a 2017 Chevy ss in sight.
I got the 255 lph from rpm speed do you if that comes with the Hotwire kit?

Before the engine leaned out and gave out. My fuel gauge was acting funny, now that I reflect back not installing the Hotwire kit might have been an issue.
