What pump is going to keep up with my set up?

I plan on putting down 450 rwhp, and a tnt 100 shot, what do you think will be the best pump for this. I will have 30lb injectors also

a single walbro hotwired should suffice
you might also consider going to a wet set up with a fuel cell with its own pump and regulator, thats seems to be what the big boys are using.

You would be fine with the walbro 255 lph high pressure pump (GSS340) , it will support 600 hp. Only $99 at www.neweraperformanceparts.com , that's where I got mine .

Get the Racetronix plug and play. No voltage dropoff, installer friendly.

Well you got lucky most stock pumps fall short about 475-500rwhp. An intank Walbro hotwired is the way to go.

A 'Hotwired' fuel pump is a slang term which indicates that the pump is supplied with power directly from the alternator / battery through a dedicated wiring harness. Please see our web page for a wide range of PnP 'Hotwire' harnesses.
