Default Twin 255s not enough anymore, what should I go with for a pump?

I've reached the limits of my twin in tank 255 walboro setup. What is everyone running for fuel pumps is the 900/1000 whp range?

What fuel? You should beable to make 1000 no problem on reg gas with twin 255's. I have.
Else two 340's or 400's should give more or do 3 255's. I run 3 now and should be over 1100-1150 now and looking for another 100

What fuel are you using? A guy on here has twin intanks and just did a big external magnafuel pump with the plastic tank sump setup. Post up on the boostedlsx page on Facebook.

Twin 255s are hit or miss from my experience.

Twin 450s will support 1200Rw on corn... Way more on gas.

I ran a stock tank and twin A 1000's for a long time with 1000 rwhp. Switched to Magnafuel EFI 750 to about 1500 rwhp.

If I had to do my fuel system over again right now, I would go twin 450's right off the bat. You can't beat their price, and they are specifically labeled e85 compatible.

Fore Innovations kit with triple Aem 50-1200's, -10 feed, -8 return, DSX flex fuel kit, and ID1300s is what I bought and should have 1000rwhp easily.

With the 255-340 stuff it depends on fuel pressure. They drop off in flow alot after 60 psi. If you have to run 20 psi or more to reach 1000 whp then keep base fuel pressure lowwww like 38-40. Large supply line -8 to -10 to get the volume up at lower pressures. I made 1009 sae thru a th400 on 64 psi total fuel pressure with two 255's. May have had more in it. 340's should do 100-150 more at similar pressure

Why don't you get a Kenny bell boost a pump... He sells one for dual pumps... You should get over 750 LPh on 17.5 volts...

Go to his website and see.. They are making 1000 rwh on stock set ups... Before you do anything you should visit his site on this .
