The Aux pump and regulator is way to use OEM fuel system with stock Vortech setup. The Aux pump is not used until above 2000RPM with SS box. If the pulley set up is changed for greater boost than Aux pump/regulator become inadequate for tuning.
Your better off with walbro and upgraded injectors.

cool, will keep that in mind if I upgrade to 3.12 pulley.
I have the car now, with the cog belt off. Things are running w/ the SS box plugged, but no boost so no change from the stock ECU (I think.)
Interesting to see the AFR on the stock injectors/pump. I went overboard and got 2 UEGO's, one for each cat (pre-cat location). When cruising down the freeway w/ 2-3k rpm, I'm getting swings between 14.5 to 16. When WOT, lowest I saw was 11.
Also interesting to know that the passenger side (I think it was that side, still getting used to the gauges) was running leaner. I've seen that being discussed before, but cool to see it neve the less.
Oil temps gets to around 170, but that's after 30 min driving. I have to find out what the normal ranges for the oil temps are.
Boost always below zero of course (sadly), but that'll change soon I hope
Wonder if Vortech will give me a hardtime re their missing aux fuel pump? They seem pretty cool, but not sure how they would handle this (and the fact that they sent the wrong spacers and pipes...) I guess it happens though once in a while.
So my plan is to have them send the pump. I'll take it from there if things don't work out w/ them...
edit:
sounds like the avg oil temps are between 160-175F, anything over 250 (depending on your oil) is bad and can start oil to denature/break down.

thanks man, I'll give them a shot. btw, are you using BOV filter? I heard it helps w/ mildly decreasing some of the sound at low RPM's.
ps, I came across the following FYI

I run a BOV filter purchased from Summit Racing.
It helps to quiet down the BOV and needed in your situation not running the cog belt connnected, unfiltered air is drawn thru BOV.
