Default Will my fuel system support 13.5 lbs boost?

I'm running twin Walbro's with 60# Motron injectors and I'm still on the stock fuel rails and lines. With my current setup I'm making in the 550-560whp range. I'm finally upgrading my turbo to a TC-T76 from Forceinductions.com. Do you guys think my fuel system will support 13.5 lbs of boost, right now I'm only running 9 lbs.

I was told by mike of new era performance that dual intank 255lph walboros will support 800 rwhp with stock rails and a hotwire kit. thats the setup im going to use with 60 lbs injectors also. I will be running around 16 psi expecting around 700 to 750 rwhp.

I'm at 15.5psi on the street with meth. My dual pumps fixed my leaning out issue.

I'm not really concerned about the pumps, I'm more worried that the fuel lines and rails being to restrictive.

I don't think it will be a problem. I'm not on the stock rails still but I am on the stock lines with dual in-tanks and 60 lb injectors. No problems.

I figure with 5 lbs more I should be around 660 whp. Will it be safe to make that much power on the stock rails, lines, and regulator? Do you guys think I can achieve this much power on 91 ocatane?

I'm going to be getting the rails and lines sometime next month. The car's getting tuned next friday with the 13.5lb spring so I wanted to make sure I would be OK with the stock rails and lines

I would get the regulator and rails and a return line. I think you will develop a problem soon. I did, fp kept falling, above 650hp, just hit a wall. Im still working on mine, not finished with it yet.

Do you have the second pump comming on with boost? I think it will be fine, I have made 650 rwhp dyno jet on 93, 15 psi, stock rails, lines and one intank. Do you have a fuel pressure guage and wideband in car?

bifster: I'm runing a rear mount setup with a TC T-76.

black98ws6ta: I'm not runing a fuel gauge or wide band yet. I have my second pump comming on under boost. Like I said I'm going to be probably making in the mid 600's, hopefully everything holds up with a good tune

If the car makes mid 600's then that will be about it, even at that hp it will be dropping fuel pressure im sure.
