For those with serious HP issues we have designed a fuel sytem that can hold, within reason, as much hp as an LSx engine can make without the fuel press gauge even budging.
It is very quiet for street use, and the tanks drain properly. They can also be ran almost emty without running dry.
Give a call if your interested.
This includes late 03/04's BTW

We retain the stock pump in the tank while having a secondary pump but really not in line as it has it's own feed supply.
So far we have used in several cars making 700rwhp to over 1000rwhp without so much as a budge in fuel pressure. Plus most importantly it's quiet so no problem on the street with annoying noisy pumps. This pump does cost a premium but after all it is for a Vette!
The complete kit is $1995 for all model C5's, but they are year specific.
Check our post on the Paxton superchargers, the picture in it is of my car with the rails and regulator showing.
and thanks for the alky kit order!!

Doug,
How much horsepower the following setup could support:
- Racetronix intank pump
- Kenny Bell Boost-A-Pump
- -8an feed lines
- -6an return
- Billet Fuel Rails
- -8an Crossover
- 75# RC Engineering injectors
- CAGS regulator at the rails
A person from Racetronix said it will only support 600 FI rwhp, but the person I bought the system from said it will support 800 rwhp. Who to believe
If I need to do something, I would like to do it now when most of everything is still fairly accessable.

I have the 1st system that Doug did that he's refering to.
Very quiet and very reliable.
I did over 800 to the wheels and the car was pig rich. This IMHO is the only way to go if your looking to put down big numbers.

I would say a minimum of 650-700RWHP. I have not made your excact system before but from what your listing I would definatly say over 600rwhp.
good luck with it!
