Thing people seem to want to forget is that most stock pumps are 10+ years old so what it could handle new and what it can handle now are two completely different things.

If your heads are any good atall, you should be exceeding it's capacity. A wiring upgrade will gain you a little capacity but you might as well just get the Racetronix kit with wiring and a new Walbro.

One of the b-body guys measured some years ago so it was a fresher pump than most stockers would be. He got 147l/hr at 43psi with 13.8 volts which could theoretically feed 450NA hp
