Default Which Fuel pump combo under 650rwhp?

I will be looking to Push my P1SC combo in the neighborhood of 600rwhp.

I have already got a KB Boost a Pump and 60lb injectors. Which Fuel pump would be the best to pair with it?

Aeromotive?

Technically I do not see the C5 in the applications guide but my tuner can fabricate very well.

Several ways to do it.... the lesser expensive route.... the middle routes... and then theres the do it once setup. I had an intank 255 racetronix kit... on 93 octane and 60lb injectors... I was out of fuel @5500 rpms and almost 800wheel hp...kind of a cheap, easy investment, well within site of what you want. Just some food for thought. No BAP.

I would always go overkill on the fuel system.... more fuel=more power. Not only that.... maybe you'll want to add more power down the road...do it once, save your money.

Very true however I don't see myself pushing 700+ anytime soon. I will want to forge at that point and will be spending thousands on proper rotating assemblys etc.

For now I may go with a very good flowing intank with BAP just in case then down the road go to a twin pump or fuel cell and A1000 type of system. I know the fuel systems to support High HP are not cheap. I just need a safe system to support up to 650 wheel. My goal is 550-600.

Damn I didn't know those existed when I built my fuel system.

Woulda been a lot easier and cheaper to just drop one of those in the tank.

I ran a LPE pump for years with no BAP, with meth. Went 9.70's with it. Was still working perfectly when removed.

Is this a Walboro 255 with some parts for a direct drop in?

Looks like they run about $200 from Lingenfelter and they recommend a Boost a Pump for over 600 hp.

Again I already have a Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump =)

Also is the walboro 400 a direct drop in with higher capacity than the 255?

600 hp now, and I think if I want a little more I will look at meth before I think about changing my fuel setup. Sound like a viable option?

When I installed my ECS kit it ran on 60lb injectors with a stock fuel pump, BAP and Meth. Made 598whp on their dynapack setup. Knowing I wanted more power with the new forged motor. I went with 80lb injectors and a Walbro drop in 400lph pump, keeping the BAP & Meth as well. That setup will be power limited by the fuel rail and line.

I would suggest upgrading your in tank pump with the Racetronix setup or Walbro 400lph pump. A factory LS7 pump is also an option from prior research I did.

I agree

It is Plug and Play fuel pump and it can sustain up to 650rwhp without issues.

Your car requires a jet-pump to function properly with the factory module. You should consider our FPA-005 with FPWH-007. LPE carries the same products L710650197 and RXC5-FPWH-2
