Default Need a 1000whp Fuel System For Cheap

just like the title states i need a fuel system to support 1khp any help would be appreciated. My fuel system is going to be holding me back from my goal. Currently I have 60lb injectors, kb boost a pump, and a walbro 255. I know I am going to have to go return style but wanted some opinions on some cheap setups.

Depends on what you call cheap, some budgets are bigger than others so cheap could mean expensive to the next guy.

Let me get this right. You spent all of the money to build a 1000 rwhp combo but now you want to cheap out on the most important part of it all, the fuel system??

I've got over $700 into my "cheap" setup....and it's still not ideal for what I'm wanting to do....but it'll work for now.....and I'm not trying for 1k rwhp. My guess is that you'll be hard pressed to to do it reliably for less than $1k (pump, controller,regulator, lines)....but if you are able, more power to ya! (no pun intended)

You will need to run multiple 255 walbros to support that power level for sure.
Upgrading to the new 80lb Ford injectors will take a little burden off the pump due to the high pressure that you will need to run to squeak by with the little 60lb injectors.
This will save you a little $$$ in the fact that you will not need to buy a driver box.
Do it right the first time and you will be better off in the long run.
