Well guys, Saturday I'll be buying my new Camaro. A z28 with a TTI 76mm street kit. Anything I needa know before I get myself into it with not much knowledge? What I'm really looking for is fuel related. It has 42# injector and I'm thinking I'm proboably going to go with 60# but not sure what people do for fuel pumps.
Thanks

60# for sure , fuel pump depends on how much boost u plan to crank it to, dual in tank walbros would probably get u pretty far.

dual 255 walbros should support over 7xxrwhp id assume... and with 60#ers they are good for mid 8xx (although in some rare cases ive seen in the 9xx's).

Ya there shouldnt be any issues with that as a setup... seems to be reliable and you wont have the issues of having one massive pump like I did.

I dunno about full potential... is the motor forged? if not you might only be able to squeeze out upper 5xx, low 6xxrwhp before the motor pops...
