Default Help! 450+rwhp What is your fuel system

Just like the title says what is your fuel system from size of the fuel lines(-6,-8) and fuel pump or pumps?

How much power are you making NA and with nitrous?My tuner is telling me that the intank Walboro wont handle over 450 to the wheels with stock lines
I would have to get bigger fuel lines.

So what you are saying is that a Walboro with stock lines will handle my motor thats going to make about 470rwhp and spraying a 250 shot will not run out of fuel.

Thanks

I'm not sure I buy that ...

Guys run H/C and N20 all the time with nothing more than a 255lph upgrade.

I agree, stock fuel lines are good for quite a bit of power on lt1.

A few weeks ago my car made 754/747 but I think i'm at the limits of the stock lines. I have twin intank pumps and 60's is all at the moment.

I think I am on your side of the fence . My car should make about 650 to the wheels on the spray My tuner just is worried because he just tuned a badass procharged LS1 with stock fuel lines and a 255 and it fell flat on its face on the dyno at 500. And i guess he just wants to go the extra mile to make sure same thing doesnt happen to my car. But LS1's need more psi than an LTX car correct me if I am wrong?

Injectors are your friends guys...

stock lines + racetronix intank 255 + 60# = 600rwhp no problem.

I would certainly step up to twin intanks at that point... 60#'s should be fine... even if you need a little more base fuel pressure.

Not sure why that happened, unless his injectors were undersized or his filter dirty.
Even with an LS1 rail and FPR, 255 should have been plenty for 500rwhp.

I'm putting a 255 in for my new 383 so it will support additional power should I decide to add gigglejuice later.
At ~475rwhp (N/A), I figure the stock pump may be a little small, but the lines should be just fine.
The stock pump handled my 390rwhp H/C car without issue.

Why don't you compare the stock lines ID to the ID of a -6 once.
