I would suggest 80# injectors that way you have room to grow and could run E85. I would also suggest getting teflon lined fuel lines so they don't break down over time like the other hoses do. You also won't get a fuel smell coming from the hoses and its also good for E85. Now the fuel pump is a good question. I am leaning towards the new Holley Dominator fuel pump (the 1200-1800hp pump) but I don't know yet, as I'm still doing research on this. Also a 1:1 fuel regulator and I am also not sure which one to suggest as I'm still researching this too.

Skinnys has made big power on the stock rails so you don't need aftermarket rails to make power.

I have spent a lot of money redoing things to my car and changing my mind, I'm sick of doing that so this time around I'm going to spend my money in the fuel system so I don't have to redo it later on. I'm going budget on the motor, but the fuel system I'm not going to skimp on.

I really llike the 80lbs injectors for e85 later down the road. Im doing my own tuning so just learning to tune a forced induction application will be tough in of itself. let alone having to deal with fuel as a factor to. And yea iagree with spending more on the fuel system. Thats something i wanna be one and done with... Not having to keep updating

twin in tank walboros will be alot of fuel i know we have hit over 600whp in gas and i know someone with a GTO who is making 600~whp on E85 with twin in tank walboro's also.

80lb injectors are a great start for a FI build.

A1000 sucks my *****, i would rather see you do twin in tank wallys or twin 044s

or a 255-400 in tank feeding a bosche 044 external

What kind of power level are 80s generally good to? 900-1000rwhp?

80's will take you into the mid 800's on e-85 and further with meth and pump gas.
