Default Fuel system needed for 700rwhp?

I'm running a 408 with a d-1sc at about 7lbs. Right now I have a 255L inline pump and a KB boost-a-pump added on. I start dropping pressure at about 4500rpm and 500rwhp. The tuner says a bigger in-tank ( single 255L ) is all I need to add. Right now I'm only trying for 600rwhp but plan on adding boost this winter. What do I need to support 700rwhp? How much will the stock lines and rail support? Thanks!

Several people have have ran dual intank pumps using Walbro high pressure fuel pumps. One stays on while the other kick in via a hobbs switch and boosts fuel pressure as needed.

O yeah, I also have 60lbs. mototrons. Are the dual setups sold as a kit with the switch or are they custom deals? Would it work to just wire them both on at all times?

I think you need dual walbro pumps. You can do this yourself like I did or get one from Racetronix. You won't need a B_A_P with dual walbros. The mototron 60# are good for well over 700rwhp as shown by Mightymouse.

700RWHP requires a well designed DP system.

Your problem is the stock fuel lines/rails. 5Liters car has a feed/return setup with regulator.Stopped his fuel problem The stock feed line just can't hold enough fuel.

The HP we see with a blower and a turbo are 2 different things.... with the same Injectors...... A turbo is more efficent then a blower and the HP you see at the rear wheels might be the same but the HP the motor is eating is not seen with a turbo like it is with a blower...... The motor is turning the blower and is taking HP to do that so the injector will need to be bigger with a blower motor to reach the same HP as a turbo........

No, it is the regulation point.

Dual intanks sound like a good idea.

Or you could run aftermarket stuff for the rails, fuel line, regulator and tank.

I currently run a Speed Inc. gas tank and some aftermarket rails. I run one external Weldon 2025 pump right now. I am probably going to dual Bosch pumps from Speed Inc. very soon. Those would again be dual external pumps.

Yes, every Weldon pump should come with a bottle of Asprin and ear plugs.
They work well though.

David, next time you are under that car, check that relay. Mine melted eventually running both pumps from one relay. Could just be me but would hate for ya to get stuck because of it. I could only tell because one of the "legs" wobbled. I was alerted to the problem because the pumps wouldn't turn off when I removed the key The B_A_P comes in the one/two pump flavors...the two pump model is a 40amp unit and the one pump model is 20 amp I believe.....something to think about.

Either a cheap relay or a non-Weatherpack version. We have never had a problem like this with the Siemens (now Tyco) 40 amp W/P relays.

Our DP harness has a dedicated relay and fuse for each pump so they can be controlled independently.
