Default Can my fuel pump take it??

I was wondering if I had to upgrade my fuel pump or could my stock one handle it? I'v been spraying a nos 5177 dry kit and I'm going with a tnt wet kit now. I'm still running my stock pump will it hold with me spraying 150-200 wet? So far its held up fine with the dry kit. If not what pump is best out there?? I'm new to the whole wet kit any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I'd say 500rwhp is pushing the stock pumps limits. With a TNT 150 you'd be over 550rwhp and with the 200 you'd be over 600rwhp.

Get a racetronix fuel system. Then you won't have to worry about burning a hole through your piston...unless you'd like to do that?

So basically upto a 150 wet the stock pump should hold it. Anything higher than the 150 it would be pushing it and it would be best to get something like the racetronix p&p am I correct?

I suggest putting a fuel pump in for anything over a 100 shot.TNTs jetting is alittle aggresive.I know people that run the stock pump for a 150 shot but I would not chance it.We sell the racetronix systems for 249.00.

I agree, change pump out. Now a Y-body you could probably get away with this, but an F-body would be pushing it. Be safe, a pump is much cheaper than an engine.

don't gamble, it is not worth the consequences. Get the pump in before you spray.
