Default Fuel System Help

Well Im trying to decide on a fuel setup and need some advice. Im looking for a setup that will support 500rwhp. I would like to be able to grow when the time comes.

Should I just buy the stock procharger fuel setup?

Or if something custom what size injectors should I go with? Inline pump or in tank pump? What about a fuel pressure regulator?

Please gimmie some ideas with part numbers.

Need some ideas guys...

Thanks!!

I've 42's getting ready to move up, methanol injection is a must, the pump is getting ready to go too. No problems but 500 is starting to get it maxed out. And getting ready for next year. .

For the power goal you want I would do the 60 #ers and the racetronix setup. Its proven and will hold the power level you want and a little more

I used 42#ers and an inline pump up to 489rwhp. But I'd do as mentioned above and go ahead and get the 60# injectors now so you won't have to upgrade later. A racetronix and/ or a BAP would be good too if you don't add an inline pump...

Our Stage1 Street kit is plenty you can upgrade it with 60#ers for future mods.

An intank pump is much quieter & will outflow the stock intank/inline setup.

Depending on your ultimate goals, you might consider one of my twin intank setups if you are planning a future engine buildup. It will work with your present setup & also meet your needs in the future without the need for any additional pump upgrades.

If 500rwhp max is what you are looking for, then the single will suffice.

Feel free to ask if you need any additional info.
