Couple stock pump questions... What can a good stock fuel pump hold up for HP on a N/A motor?
Also...what are guys doing about the tank EVAP when running aftermarket fuel rails??
Right now it just vents. Does the car run better with it connected to the intake?
One more...does the stock pump overheat if pushed to its limit? Maybe create an odd smell kinda like gas and turpentine.
Thanks in advance!
I searched for each of these and failed to get exact answers. Mostly because I really suck at searching for anything, but hey...

I've typically heard 400hp at the rear wheels for one pump. Obviously if you run duals you can handle more, but probably not quite 800.
The car won't run better with evap hooked to the intake, it just won't spew hydrocarbons in to the atmosphere.
How do you push a pump to its limit? It's either on or off, it knows nothing else. Or are you planning to add a hobbs switch and overrun the things? They die when they are run without being submerged in gasoline because they rely on this to keep them cool.

The stock pump has made up to 425-440rwhp I have not seen much more than that.
EVAP with aftermarket rails? The rails have nothing to do with hte EVAP? The vent line from the tank goes into the intake not the rails? I run the EVAP with every set of rails I install.
