Fuel System Upgrade Help OK, I know this is VERY unspecific, but I need help. I've got a 382 Stroker with a mild cam and full bolt-ons making 385rwhp and 445rwtq (before the LTs). I'm still running the stock fuel system. I want to upgrade but I have no idea where to start. Injector sizes, type of rails, in-line or in-tank pump upgrade, how many gph???? I'm lost and any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Walbro 255 intank Pump with SVO 42LB injectors should so you plenty fine. The 42lb injectors can be had for around 225 shipped here. Both of these will be more than enough for your current setup.

If you want to upgrade for giggles, the above post is dead on. Add a Racetronix 255 pnp fuelpump kit and a set of svo 42's.
If you're looking for hp, stay stock until you cross 420rwhp with other mods. You can put a $2500 fuel system on your car and not gain 1 hp at your level. Plus you'll need a tune for the 42's.

Not really neccessary to upgrade all of it but it will give you alot of headroom to grow into. Your stock pump and injectors are good to just over 400rwhp but may start to run out earlier with the TQ you are making with the stroker motor. Check out our stage 1 kit it will get you plenty to grow into. Or we can special tailor something for you.
