Default what HP level is a 255 and -6 good for?

Just like the title says, this will be on a 5.3 with a cam close to or right above .600 lift, and will be getting hit with a 150 shot almost every weekend and the track... So will a 255 with a -6. Feed line be good or should I step up to a 300lph with a -8 feed?


Thanks!

So my guess would be my HP level would be right around 500 on the bottle...

FWIW my 454 has a Walbro 340 in the tank with -6 feed. it's a kit from Nasty Performance, and is supposed to be good for 600-700rwhp....your 255 and -6 should be just fine.

Alright thanks for the input guys, I'll be going with a sumped fuel cell, the inline 255, corvette filter/regulator with both -6 for feed and return. That sound like a good plan for my goals? Nitrous kit will be a wet kit with maybe a stand alone fuel system down the road....
