Default this is probably beat to death... maxed fuel system

with 60lb injectors and the rest factory how much fwHP can you produce?

i think it will easily be 800 at the fly wheel for my coming motor..

when will i have to upgrade to a fuel cell with a large pump and braided lines and new rails?

im checking up on the D-1sc kit and to me it looks like every one under estimates its ability

D-1sc with the twin IC's and a small Direct port 100 shot max sounds like magic to me

how much can you get out of the stock tank, bigger lines and rails and
after-market pump?

I ran my old, old, old setup w/ a single 340, 42's, stock feed line w/ dedicated return line (V6 fuel lines) well into the 600 range. Was running out of pump at 650.

You can get anything you want out of a setup if you go bigger lines, rails, pump. Pick your poison. Tank really has nothing to do with it. Sump a stock tank and you can do what you want.

Trying to nickle and dime a fuel system is the worst possible idea IMHO. It only takes one hiccup to put a hole in a piston.

Did you wind up changing the stock lines? If so, how was it after?
