Yes, what are your power goals?... What you have listed is a lot of fuel system, even on E85.

Depending on how big of a turbo you plan on using, you may be close to maxing out those 160#s on E85......

HOWEVER, you may run out of fuel pump before that.

160 is plenty of injector. Overkill for 700wheel though.

i was talking about 1000rwhp, on E85, and THAT pump.

We have a sbf 347, S400-75mm, 160#ers, and it is running right at 90% DC....granted that thing is running 5.3xs in the 1/8.

I run the speed inc rails and mine made 1005 on the dyno with the same 625 pump you were asking about in the original post. Mine is not E85 though.
