Will my Racetronix fuel system support my new setup of 700 FWHP?

I have the Racetronix fuel system (purchased from Thunder Racing) that I ran in my old setup and was wondering if its going to support the new power? I'm hoping to make around 700 FWHP.
If not, will the boost-a-pump help? How much more power does it support with this addition?
Should I ditch the entire system and go with something different or can this one be upgraded?
Thanks.

I just read on Racetronix's website that the system without a BAP supports 600rwhp and 700rwtq. Then with the addition of a BAP, it adds another 100rwhp. Is this not accurate? If I do end up needing dual intanks, do I have to completely remove mine or can it be added/modified?

There hp ratings are for NA applications (real world every car is totally different) and will be no where near that level for a boost application.
You are better off removing yours and selling it as a kit. The new dual pump setup is different pumps and totally different wire harness to run each pump individually. Give me a call I can get you the fuel you need.

So Racetronix offers a dual pump kit, but its completely different and can't be added/upgraded from the single? How much power does it support naturally aspirated?
If it supports 700rwhp with a BAP, then I should be find because I plan to make that at the motor, not the wheels.

I am currently building these kits exclusively for Racetronix. Nate is distributing my kits as well as part of his fuel systems.
When you get into the 700+rwhp range, you should look into a complete system with lines, rails & regulator. This way you are ensured of stable fuel pressure & also a boost referenced pressure (if turbo/supercharged) to accurately control fuel delivery as well as to get the most flow from your injectors under high boost. These complete kits are supporting well over 900rwhp.
Remember the stock regulator only controls pressure at the filter & will not compensate for pressure drop in the stock fuel lines.

I can't predict what I will put down to the wheels because I will have a huge drivetrain loss due to a big stall unlocked, steel driveshaft, 12 bolt w/4.56 gear, 30" slicks, automatic tranny, etc.
The 700 FWHP is only a guess. My old setup was about 500 FWHP, but only put 410 to the wheels. I'm hoping to be making another 150-200 more hp, which should put me in the 700 FWHP range. At a 20% drivetrain loss, I'm looking at 560 rwhp.
This will be accomplished NATURALLY ASPIRATED.
So...with all of that in mind, should I leave my system as is, add the boost-a-pump, or completely remove it and swap over to a dual setup?
OR...do something completely custom? I can do this as its strictly a race (drag) car.

Do it right.Your T350 will eat alot of fuel.I would expect dual intanks and minimum of 42lb injectors but I would probly go 60lbers.
I just read the drag only part. ---- do a sump tank so it doesn't starve on launch and run a bumper hanging pump.

When I do fuel systems I always tend to err on the safe side with excess being just enough. Lean mixtures willl break parts rather quickly at high HP levels. I know the double pumper setup will safely feed your motor & recommend the full lines, rails, regulator setup to do it correctly.
A sumped tank for a race only setup is good as well, but you will need to ditch the plastic tank & plan on a very good but noisy external pump.
Feel free to call me with any additional questions if you wish to discuss this further.
