    You should be able to hit 550 or more with that cam. I was at 500 with my previous cam without spinning the hell out of the SC - 3.2 pulley and no overdrive pulley.

    I'm def in the same boat as you, I need to upgrade my pump and injectors. I've been leaning towards the ZL1 pump but i'm not sure If it will be good past 600, I'm currently at 579rwhp with some still left on the table

    ZL1 and a BAP should be good for most power levels. Not the best set up but cheaper than some of the alternatives.

    ZL1 pump is fine for your power level. I know a couple of the higher powered G8s have them and no issues.

    I recall reading about the gas gauge reading "being off" with this ZL1 pump -- requiring "some adjustments." Was a fix found for that?

    ....or was that the CTS-V pump? .....or is my brain throwing a DTC code?
