Theres a shop in AZ that is building an upgraded drop in pump for the tank.
But, the cam fuel lobe should help with the upper side

I don't think the high pressure fuel pump will need any attention if the motor itself is not further modified from where you are now. The wet kit taking fuel from the low-pressure rail, in my opinion, means that the low pressure pump in the tank is the one that will need upgrading. The direct injectors won't be adding any fuel for the nitrous sytem, so the demand on the HPFP should not go up because of the nitrous system.

Yeah I think I might just go with a cam and ported heads and call it a day...id be happy with a low 11 second NA daily driver, plus I love the way a cammed car sounds.

I will be starting a head porting program for these heads very soon.

I have a feeling the exhaust port is why we aren't seeing good gains from headers and cams right now. If an actual port is that bad it doesn't matter what is put in front of it or behind it. It is still the limit. You can even hang it open for a while and it won't help much. I have a feeling there are going to be some good gains out of porting. I will be shooting for sub 10.40's with a light port job and baby cam on the stock converter. We will see what the car does with the headers in a week or so.

Went to the track today and got in a few runs, because thats personally how I like to gauge the effectiveness of a mod VS the dyno. Only did three runs but every one was a consistent 12.1xxx. My previous best was a 12.35 on a drag radial only, so just E85 picked me up an extra 2 tenths as well as 3MPH in the quarter. Definitely one of the most cost effective mods ive done! If I can get the launch down with this 6 speed I think ill easily see an 11.9. My 60ft was a pretty mediocre 1.98 and it still ran pretty good. Special thanks to Tim who is very responsive in answering any of my questions, and tweaking the tune until it was perfect for my car. Will definitely do business with EFI Tuning in the Future.

. Is the sensor all I need besides the tune?

Flex Fuel kit and tune are all that is needed.
