Question Will the racetronix be enough?

I am building a single turbo 427 and am hoping to make 700rwhp. On the racetronix website they say it will support 750. Just looking for advice it is a corvette so it has no return.

Thanks

i know they sell a twin set up using 2gss340 pumps.. yes together those can do 750 easy.. however i THINK they still connect to the stock pressure line and i really have a hard time believing you can make 750hp on the stock fuel pressure line, or stock fuel rails

on the other hand i run two gss340's in parralel in my tank, set me back about a hundred bux each and i ran -8 line to the front and speed inc rails and i know all of my fuel system is 800rwhp+ capable now.

yes it should be enough. often companys sell stuff that far beyond what you need. BSFC or brake specific fuel consumption (basiclly the fuel efficiency for making power) is often overrated espec when based upon a typical SBC when the LS1 is far more efficient. hope this helps.

They rate there setup as bhp not rwhp with 15% loss yuo are down to about 625. I have seen a single Walbro support 650rwhp thats about max I would not trust it any farther.
