Proven HP numbers with single Walbro 450 w/E85
I've searched a lot and found some old threads about the Walbro 450 and Walbro 400s and found some people running pumps they thought were 450's, but I was hoping to find some true dyno or track numbers for turbo ls motors running a single real walbro 450 on e85.
My combination is an lq4 with a GT45, Tick custom turbo cam, 80lb injectors, single walbro 450, -8AN line all the way to the rail.

I just did a 69 Camaro running E85, -8 feed and return, Seimen's 80# injector and a PT7675. It would drop fuel pressure when pushed above 10 psi (610-630whp). I would say it safely made 550-570 but was starting to drop. Base pressure did not matter as it would drop below 50-55 psi on anything over 10-11 psi. I would not run a single above 550-570whp unless you are keeping a really close eye on it.
This is very similar to other single 450's I have done.

I was talking to a guy on boosted lsx facebook page yesterday and he is making 736 on e85 using a walbro 450. Im using one also. Havnt fully got my car running and tuned yet but I will be on pump gas & meth. I have the upgraded bulk head, racetronix hotwire, & 0 gauge wire up front. So it should get all the power it needs. Also im using an aeromotive boost referenced regulator with a return line

Thanks for the input! I asked about base pressure because flow drops pretty drastically at higher pressures. If you were only running 45psi total pressure, the pump would flow alot more than if you tried to run 80psi total pressure. Much bigger deal if your running 25-35lbs of boost.

My setup is for my Nova, so no pre-made bolt-in assemblies will work.
What kind of increased capacities/capabilities/deficiencies come with running a boost-a-pump? I've deterred from them in the past, but if all I need it for is instantaneous volume, I may consider it.

542 rwhp at 8 psi through a truck drivetrain. Pump was done at around 11 psi, presumably around 600 rwhp. I now run 2 450s in tank in an otherwise stock fuel system and have exceeded the capacity of the stock lines and FPR.

I'm the one that made 736. Don't have a log of pressure but I'm positive it was dropping as my Bosch 127lb inectors where at 90% dc. This also a m6 car. That day sucked since my laptop was dead and second pump wasn't kicking on.
