Default What should I do to upgrade my current system

Last year I was on low boost (5psi) and running a racetronix pump with 60# injectors on an otherwise completely stock fuel system. What is my best option to upgrade? I will be running a boosted 5.3 with a target HP of around 600.

Can I just add an inline pump? What do I need to do for a fuel pressure regulator?

I think your injectors are fine in my opinion, you should upgrade yout fuel system lines for sure, you might have problems with that HP may damage your pistons

I'm in the same boat with a racetronix pump and wire kit but will need more fuel. what is the next step to take? How much does adding an inline pump really gain?

I don't feel like scraping the wire kit and pump as they are pretty new. Have been thinking about adding second intank pump.

go with Lonnies or Nasty N8 setup. Call and talk them. You likely have the option of doing dual in-tank pumps or an in-line pump on a switch or similar

currently running a methanol kit? best bang for buck provided you will never change your target hp (again)
