Default Stock fuel pump limitations on the bottle?

How much of a shot can the stock fuel pump safely handle?

I have no clue, but I can tell you my 150 shot kit came with an aux. pump. So, i'd say less than 150.

I would say that anything over 100 would start to push it. :yesnod:

I would definitely install a walbro or something sufficient.

With my n/a 383 I had a gm vortec truck unit, the highest flowing pump gm makes...and it was maxed out. I only make 440 at the crank.

Don't see how far you can pull the pin from the grenade.
