you are going to need a lot more pump to accomplish that...

once again.. I suggest a double pump like I mentioned in a post above...
Nasty Performance
Stage 3 Street Kit....

Unless of course deatschwerks has some kind of double pump setup...
then its worth looking into that some more...

I put down 730 on nitrous and run a Walbro 255, KB BAP that's active only when armed, stock fuel rails/lines/filter, and 42 lb green tops and I had to lean the crap out of it to get it in line.

No fuel issues here.

i have a 36 lb injectors so that should help me out a little bit. a bap just adds voltage to the pump right?

IIRC, the KB boost-a-pump lets the voltage regulator in the gen. raise the voltage a few volts. thats why its best used momentarily. modern musclecars in detroit (anyone remember them?) made a thing like it back in the day. depending on the electronics in your car, you may or may not want to go that route. i'd ask the guys in the stereo section to be on the safe side.

hot wire kit only ensures there is no voltage lost between the generator and fuel pump due to resistance/impedance. its not going to dramatically "increase" the voltage the pump will see. its a great help, but you still have to measure the pump's output based on regular running voltage, not 16-18 volts like some people have recc'd for you. hot-wire + boost-a-pump is the best bet if you aren't planning on changing the pump itself.

Can someone school me on these fuel pumps. I'll probably be pushing around 460-470rwhp when I'm done with everything and I'm not going to be adding ANY more mods to the car. I have 42lb injectors and stock rails. Does this Racetronix kit install inline or drop in the tank? I really don't want to drop my fuel tank if I don't have to and cutting open a trap door isn't an option for me. Can someone tell me what all I need for my HP needs? Thanks!!!

The Racetronix Kit is a Pump and some Wiring..
you have to drop your tank to install it in your existing fuel bucket... it replaces the stock pump.


on a side note..
I actually have one for sale for a 99-02 v8 Fbody that is already assembled in the fuel bucket

I just replaced my Racetronix with a dual pump from Lonnies Performance
