Default Stock Pump limit?

I'm doing a cam swap, and well I'm just gonna bump up and get some 42lbs injectors....my question is....will I have to upgrade the fuel pump itself as well?

If so, whats the difference in a in-tank and inline pump (Besides the obvious one's in the tank and ones in the fuel line itself.)

I really don't feel like dropping the full tank of fuel, nor will I cut a whole in my car, so a inline would be premo....

Not sure of your power level, but if you are planning a build up, it is wise to upgrade before you have problems. Typically if you get into heads/cam, a pump is a wise choice.

An inline will do little to help your flow. Do it right & replace the intank setup.

I stock the Racetronix kits if you are interested.

I'm doing a cam only, gonna have Pat G custom spec me a cam, and I was gonna buy 42 injectors because you can always turn the duty rate down.

Stock pump is good to about 400rwhp over that replace the pump. You will be glad you did if it ends up not being enough.

Spend the extra money and do it right. I went with the Racetronix pump and hotwire kit with 42# injectors and it was very, very easy to install. I beleive it's rated to 650hp or so.

Racetronix here to. Going to be doing the install this weekend. And 36s or Ford 30s would be a good choice too,...unless you plan on spraying or going FI in the near future.
