Default 650whp fbody fuel pump

Hey guys, my car is getting finished up and will be hitting the dyno soon, and I've been stressing out over the fuel pump. It is a single walbro 255 right now. The car is a 2000 Camaro, stock bottom, 317s, tick stage 2 turbo cam, ls6 intake, and a tnetics T76. Before I go to a bigger forged motor, which is when I'll run -8 feed lines, -6 return and all that good stuff, would a Racetronix pump and Hotwire kit be a good idea? I saw a guy making 644whp with one on an lq4 with no signs of letting up. 550-600 wheel is my goal, so I figured i could get by with it. Also if I need a little more, I could hook a boost a pump to it. What do you guys think? I have no plans of going past 600-650 WHP with this setup, but I want to keep the pump in a safe zone, within its limits. Thanks, Logan

Are you asking about a single 255 pump and hotwire kit?

Haven't been on a dyno but I know I'm close to 600 rwhp and likely even more torque. With that said I run a Racetronix 255 pump and hotwire kit, and it works like a charm everytime

Thanks. It does pretty good for what it is. Wouldn't mind trading my nitrous for your turbo though lol. Sounds like a great setup you're doing
