Default Best Fuel Pump(s) Option For Now And Future Mods?

Right now, I'm a heads/cam/full bolt ons 2002 WS6 (mods are in signature). I've got Accel 44lb/hr injectors, but according to my tuner, I need a new fuel pump because the PSI goes down to 45 psi at 6500 rpms. We were going to set the rev limiter at 7,000 rpms, but decided to set it at 6700 rpms due to the pump. I'm kind of up in the air right now on future mods. On one hand, I'm thinking about a Super Victor intake, 4150 4 barrel TB and a 4150 style Nitrous Plate and spraying around a 150 to 200 shot. Then, on the other hand, I've always wanted to do a SBE 6.0 turbo build. Is there a fuel pump(s) that would suit both possible builds? Let me know what fuel pump(s) you would recommend and if there is anything else I'll need along with the fuel pump(s).

You probably could use a 340LPH for the nitrous but the turbo you'd probably want to look into a dual pump setup.

Would it be an option to add a second pump to the 340LPH in a turbo application down the road? What else would I need with the 340LPH pump? Just the pump?

Stock lines will be ok with this setup? How much HP would this support compared to the 340lph?

stock lines will be your issue...guys have done 800HP on stock lines...but thats pushing it a lot..

it is made to connect directly to the stock fitting...it uses a stock fuel bucket

if you buy it thru Nasty Nate, he can sell you one already assembled in a stock bucket ready to drop in....or you can sent it to him to assemble and send back to you.

and it appears he now has a dual 340 mod to handle up to 1300 HP...

Thank you, I really appreciate the help. Looks like Lonnie's has a whole fuel setup that includes lines and rails. That would be the smart choice for a turbo build I suppose.

Now with a nitrous setup, if you have a dedicated fuel cell, you wouldn't need to do any upgrades to the fuel pump/lines, because the fuel cell has it's own pump and lines, correct? What made you go with the Stage 3 kit over a dedicated fuel cell?

Dry shot...no extra tank or plumbing needed...injectors did all the work
I'm using a Holley Dominator EFI system for Control...
it has the ability to do a lot of things the stock PCM cannot do..
and, if I have a problem(any problem), it will shut off the nitrous for safety or kill the ignition


I'm in the process ow switching to a Procharger F1c....and I will be spinning the **** out of it...
I'm a completely new fuel setup now.....
Sumped tank, Huge Dual pump (770 lph), -10 fuel lines....

Ok, that makes sense. I didn't look close enough at your signature to see you were running a dry shot. Sorry if some of these questions are kind of stupid, but I'm not all that familiar with fuel systems and what all is needed in different applications. I'm seriously considering doing a Super Victor/4150 TB/4150 Nitrous Plate setup this winter. I just want to make sure I'll have the fuel system to go along with it.

How was your overall experience with your nitrous setup? Did it give you many problems? I'm sure the Holley Dominator EFI system helped out a lot. I'd hate to know how much that costs.

Would something like this be a good option, and if so, how much power would it support with stock line and rails?

Give me a call if you want to discuss your pump options in more detail.
I'll make sure you get what you need to support your power level.
