i just took out almost this exact set up. i had 60lbs injectors, boost a pump, and a walbro 400 , no modification to the bucket at all, and with a alchy kit make around/over 650. i also ran out of fuel on this setup. Course this was through the stock regulator so take that into cosideration.

that is because you need to convert to a return style fuel system with front mounted fpr.

That's what I'm going for on the stock bottom end. I have no intentions to push it harder until I can line up the money for a built shortblock.

That's not cool. If it's any consolation I accidentally ordered the non e85 pump...Thankfully the pumps are cheap so I can swap it later.

So the walbro 400 crapped out on me, good opportunity to build a dual hanger or switch to walbro 450. I haven't decided which. I'm searching for a 97-98 fuel rail so I can run a return style system. It's like trying to find a live unicorn...
