Full Fuel System Upgrade

Hey all, i have a 02 SS Camaro N/A making around 447HP thats on a completely stock fuel system. I feel that once im give the fuel system a make over, I can have all that my car has to give. I just wanted some help choosing good parts and what should i get. Any help appreciated

Is your engine stock? What are your plans?

You want to taylor your fuel system to the amount of power you're trying to support.

The stock system is actually pretty good. You don't need to spend a ton money here.

I have a warmed over 5.7; intake, heads, big cam. Makes about 450'ish on the chassis dyno (it has not been tuned recently). I run nothing but E-85. I'm using an in tank 240lph pump, 10mm nylon lines, Corvette filter/regulator, stock crossover, and bigger injectors. I run it lap after lap to 7K, and fuel starvation is not an issue at all.

For pump gas, I doubt you would even have to increase the size of the fuel lines or injectors. Just put in a quality high volume pump and be done.

I made very similar power with a racetronix 255 pump w/ hotwire and 28.8lb injectors and was in the low-mid 90% IDC.

I'd check your injector duty cycle to see if it's really worth doing.
