Default Fuel System Limits

I am beginning to research the possibility of doing a turbo 370 set up. I currently have a racetronix intank fuel pump and 42lb injectors. IF I add a BAP, what kind of power can I safely put down. What are the limits with a set of 60lb motron injectors with this pump setup?

I have tried the search tonight, but have not had any luck getting it to work.

Thanks for any help.

With you 42lb injectors and the addition of the boost a pump, you might see 550 to 575 rwhp, depending on the type of dyno you are on. The injectors will be maxed though. With 60lb injectors, you might see 600 to 625 rwhp before the fuel system is maxed out. With a larger fuel system, the 60 lb injectors will get you up close to 750 to 800 rwhp. Check out the fuel system we made up for this T/A. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com...Car.php?car=42 Bob

With that pump and injectors, Id say ~550 RWHP. Turbos take a TON of fuel.

I have the PERFECT fuel system for ya It would cost ~$2k to buy

I know Carl, I just don't have the money right now to buy it all. I would buy the entire set up from you if I could, turbo and all. I know with forced induction you need alot more fuel than with nitrous, thats why I am trying to learn as much as I can to see if this is going to be feasible for me to do right now. thanks for the info guys. I will keep doing my research.
