How many HP can be supported by using a LPE in tank pump and a KB (or similar) Boost a pump?

Thanks in advance.

By LPE intank im assumin that u mean a 255 intank pump. With that and a BAP u should be able to support about 550-600 with good injectors like motron 60#er's. GL man

So we can safely assume a big time upgrade is needed if you are in the 750 range?

HMMMMM

Well not BIG time. Big time is 4k. U can get all u need for 750 rwhp for about 1500. LS1 speed and others have kits for these power levels that work great and dont make a **** ton of noise. GL man

For 750 rwhp, you do need a dedicated fuel system. Larger fuel lines with a return fuel sytem, which requires a regulator, a larger fuel pump or pumps, and larger fuel rails. Bob
