Default Wil my car run lean?

I'm putting heads, cam,headers,ls6 intake and an underdrive pulley on my car.Will the stock fuel system be ok or can I hurt my motor from fuel starvation?

You should be okay. The stock fuel system is good to over 400rwhp, but some information on which heads and cam you are installing would help.

With stock fuel, those heads and cam MIGHT put it on the edge, a drop in pump from full throttle is about $150, Casper Hotwire $69.95 , 38lb/42lb/ or even 60lb ($419.99 you know the mod bug will bite you).

No a stock fuel system is good for up to 500 HP, mine is all stock.

So, heads and a cam aren't 500 hp?
