Default Fuel System Adequate?

Will an in-tank walbro 255 be able to keep up with 470whp and 60 lb injectors? The injectors will prolly only be at 60-70%. For now it's on pump gas. Got a buddy that has a 346 h/c setup and this is the approx. HP he should make at the wheels and we are trying to figure out if he should go a diff. route with the fuel system.

Thanks in advanced for any response,
Sam

My 42lb LS3's get to about 67% with 430whp. 60lb on N/A will leave lot of head room.

Will there be any head room with E85? Thinking of trying that to seek a few more HP's. I know its supposed to burn much faster than pump or racing gas.

The same pump on E85 should be good for approx 450rhp.
