A few questions on fuel needs and tuning
As it is right now I've almost reached my limit of my comfortable knowledge when it comes to my engine.
So far I have intake, TB, IM, high compression pistons and header. Obviously I can get an exhaust but I'm not too interested in that yet. I just ordered a bored fuel rail and motor mount from RRM since my car is a little tempermental (in terms of on/off throttle) right now.
Anyways, my question is this, what kind of fuel upgrades would be a good idea? I read up on the FPR and higher volume injectors but I can't quite figure out whether it'd a be a good idea for my current set up since most of the threads referred to FI. Any recommendations?
Also on the topic of tuning, would it be necessary to get a tune to properly use an aftermarket camshaft/cam gear? I'm out of ideas as far as staying NA (apart from the previously mentioned exhaust and possible port and polished head) so the next obvious thing is a camshaft. This is purely about the engine, I still have plenty of things I can do in terms of the suspension.

Ah...I don't know if you'd need to upgrade. You can find a BSFC (brake specific fuel consumption) calculator online or in these forums if you're good with numbers. I'm awful with them so I just erred on the side of caution.

Yeah thats the main reason why I'm thinking of upgrading, not so much to gain power or anything like that but simply to keep my engine safe in case of the unknown. Any suggestions in terms of the cam question?
