Van Aaken C3 Box-w-EZ

I have an Edge EZ on 4 (ran legit 15.1 @ 90 mph). I am about to add a Holley Blue Pump (no need to argue this point here - I am convinced it can only help-w-fueling). I am putting a Van Aaken C3 box on my rig tomorrow and am wondering if I should keep the edge on #2 and if so What kind if gains should I expect. I still have a stock auto and don't plan on racing much if any. I do not tow more than a very small amount a few times/year. I hope the airrade-w-proguard and straight pipe will keep EGT's down but guages are next. I want VRO in the cubby hole. Anyone else done this? My cubby hole does nothing but gather crap that flies out when I hammer it. OOOPS - I suppose I lied.

It seems like I can starve the motor of fuel on the high setting of C3 Level 2 alone. The temps are also plenty hot. I don't see it as "usable" without more fuel suppy and air. I am interested on the pusher pump install...and some sort of a turbo upgrade. It gets real hot real quick on high.

I too am ready for a pusher pump. How do you know there is a fuel shortage? Are you using a guage? I am set-w-parts to put in a Hollley Blue pusher but have yet to determine the best methos. John_P had some good ideas but I am now thinking of putting it closer to the tank. I wish there was a step by step pusher pump installation guide.

Me too...

I don't have a fuel guage, but it seemed like the power flattened off a little like the motor was starving. It pulls hard in the 50% setting all the way to redline. Maybe it was just me? I will watch it a little longer before concluding anything....
