Default Do I need fuel mods?

I've got a 98 camaro. It's cam/exhaust. I'm planning on spraying a 125 wet shot, and possibly a 150. It has stock injectors and stock fuel pump. Do I need to upgrade either?

Throw in a pump and hotwire kit. Both those things are a whole lot cheaper than an engine.

or buy the Racetronix kit that has the pump and the wiring upgrade combined together....
then you dont need the separate hotwire kit, and everything is plug and play, no wires to splice.

I would recommend at least SVO 30lb injectors if you can swing the extra costs. All in all, should be around $400 or so for fuel upgrade. Better that price than a new engine price.

Glad to hear. I think fuel system upgrades are always a good idea when doing more serious mods.

racetronix kit doesnt need a seperate hotwire kit...
it already comes with the upgraded wiring... just be sure to get the upgraded ground wire to... buy the Kit, not just the racetronix pump

You should be ok with the factory injectors but you will need to upgrade the fuel pump. As others have stated i'd suggest going to with the Racetronix unit.
