recommendations for fuel upgrades on sts turbo'd ls1
i just installed a sts turbo kit on my 02 ws6 and i am having a problem running severely lean. anyone out there running a similar setup that has any opinions about a fmu set up, pump, injectors, or adjustable fuel regulator? i am going to upgrade the entire system anyone had good luck with any specific brands or sizes?

Ive got the same car same set up at 7#. I went to california speedway and ran a few runs with the wideband commander recording it. I had to let off the gas around 4500-4800 rpm the motor didn't sound happy. Checking the Air ratio after the first run had 11.5:1 all the way till about 4500 rpm then leaned out to 13:1 buy 5500. so the stock fuel system can only deliver enough for 5# and 4500 rpm +-. I only did one more run after turning down the boost to 2#. I'm going with 42lb svo (48.3 at 58 psi) and the racetronix fuel pump set up. Then a new custom tune with HPT

I recommend a Walbro 225 litre in tank fuel pump, we use the Holley/Walbro pn# 12-914 "forced induction" in tank pump. Ford SVO 42# fuel injectors, and a good dyno tune to get the air/fuel and timing dialed in. Bob
