Pump Questions

I finally put my PW injectors and 16cm turbo on also had to change the head gasket because it was weeping coolant. The head bolts seemed to be real loose especially when compared to tightening torque.
The new power is fantastic it feels like a new truck but i just bought a bigger trailer for the race car and I want even more power so here are my questions.

1. What should the pump be timed at? I'm leaving for Oregon Tuesday and my buddy has the gauges to set it. I already verified TDC when I had the head off.

2. I downloaded the pump adjustment pages from Fritz's web site, but wasn't sure if iI should adust the pump before or after setting the timing. What do you guys think?

3. Just driving around town with hardly any load I can bounce the boost up to 20 psi it should go higher with the camper and trailer on it is this about the average boost pressure?

Thanks Guys this is a great Web Site
