Hi guys, I did some research but haven't found a really definitive answer so I thought I'd send out the bat signal. I'm currently running a Walbro 255, hotwire kit and Siemen 60's on my turbo 02 Camaro SS just over 500 rwhp. My buddy has a walbro 450 he wants to trade me but I don't know what additional mods are required to run this pump at my hp level or up to 600 rwhp. I don't have the cash to redo the fuel system so is this a good idea? Thanks for any input guys!

I think your 255 with hotwire will meet your needs for now. The 450 will likely require and adjustable regulator and return added.

See that's what I thought too and I don't have the cash to do all that. I've had a couple guys tell me I'm already at the limits of this 255 with all the supporting engine mods and what not. I also am running on a base tune since I haven't been able to reach my tuner so I'm thinking that there's probably still some power on the table in regards to tune.

I'm probably closer to 600 rwhp with the 255 pump and hot wire kit with no issues

I until recently was running 500whp on a 100 shot and was still in the stock pump and factory wiring. It would be sad if a 255 and hotwire couldn't hit 600.

I just recently went to a f90000267 walbro with return and regulator.

That's great news, I think I'll stick with the 255 then and turn the wick up a little more to maybe 10 lbs. and call it a day. I want the 450 but not if its going to cause more trouble then its worth especially if I don't need the added fuel. The only future plans are a L33 short block and more boost in which I will then have to step up the fuel system but for current plans it sounds like I'm right where I need to be. Thank you for the input guys!
