Default What are you guys doing for fuel pressure in your 600+ vehicles?

I have a 255 walbro in place now and installing 79# racetronix injectors. Worried about fuel pressure. Is there a dual walbro setup. What do you guys recommend on the lighter side of the wallet. Have a feeling my new 383 is going to need a little more..

Dual walbros is good for 1000HP reliably I'd say. I think Mighty Mouse has a write up on it.

racetronix single pump, MSD BAP speed inc. rails and 60# injectors. Planning on adding a return line. Its workin' fine so far but i'm about at the limit of this setup.

Im going to do a dual intake walbro 255 setup since Ive already got one pump. Just got to figure out the wiring. Think Im going to run the one pump relay to trigger off the 1psi switch for the sts, its easy to access and wont be needed now that Im deleting the pcv using a catch can.. What you think

I think it sounds like a plan... Twin Walbros should do the trick!

Two pumps should no issues going 1000 rwhp on gasoline. I'm 800ish rwhp in e85 and a completely stock style fuel system setup and twin pumps.

2x walbros, FAST rails, boost referenced reg. and supporting injectors will be good for a lot of power, I'm still on the stock feed with 773RWHP thru an auto, I'm probably maxing out the stock feed, but just to give you an idea.

So I got my new 79# injectors, and dual 255's, running stock fuel lines and rail.. Do I need to worry about pressure or adding a regulator?? Or just drop in pumps and install new injectors tune and go???

Adjustable reg is nice if you want to go lower or higher than factory fuel pressure. And being boost referenced is also nice. I say get one they are pretty reasonable in price.
I would also get some bigger rails and upgrade the factory feed and return but that could come later on.

I also have lonnies twin setup. No complaints with it. Lonnie is great to deal with.
