I think the 255L can support around 600ish NA. For FI, I would not push one past 525 to 550ish rwhp.

That would be a stretch inside a 2001 C5 bucket. I'm leaning in that direction though, thanks for the link.

It is possible to get twin 255L pumps into a C5 tank. It is a tight fit, but doable.

I make a plug-n-play twin intank setup for the C5 Vette if you are looking for a complete setup.

Default Twin 255s in tank for 2001 C5

Sorry to hi jack this thread

Currently I'm running a P1SC-1 with 42s, one 255 in tank, and KB BAP. I'm running out of fuel (starts to lean out) on the top end at around 5000 rpm making 8psi, and the fuel pressure drops from approx. 60 psi to 45psi (this is unacceptable). The injector duty cycles are over 120, I think Im running out of pump, I cannot see going to 60# injectors as I have stock heads and cam.

I have seen others run around 5 or 6 psi with a racetronix and BAP with no problem, but they are staying in the 470 to 500 rwhp range, I think I'm going to be over that.

Let me know what you think.
Later,
Max

Is this the kit you are referring to.....if so tell me more.

I require your sender as I reuse the cover plate & the level sensor.

Kit retains the stock connections for ease of replacement & will work with stock lines. No tank modifications are required.

For more information, I can be reached at (724)322-8505

The best time to reach me for tech support is 7:00pm-11:00pm eastern time weekdays & 9:00am-11:00pm weekends.
