I remember reading somewhere that a single walbro 255lph will support like 800 hp. You should look it up but I think it'd be safe to say that should be enough.

I did some more looking and I haven't been able to find where I found that article so don't hold me to that number I said. I did read though that running 50 psi of fuel pressure a 190 lph pump can support 432 HP. So the 255 lph will probably not support that much. By the math I'm thinking more like 550 or so is reasonable to say it will support with no restriction.
