Default Need more fuel!!

Im gonna be switching to 95# injectors and wondering which to get. I currently have RC 75# injectors. Just wondering if there are any better then RC.

Also gonna be running 2 Walbro 400lph pumps and was wondering what my options are for a twin pump set up. Currently i have 97-98 return style system with aeromotive FPR with a Aeromotive stealth 340lph pump and a boost-a-pump with alky control meth kit.

Switch to ID1000 injectors. At 4bar, these injectors are 114 lbs/hr. You and your tuner will not be sorry you made the switch.

The Walbro 400 pumps have a larger distal end, so it may take a few tricks to get 2 of them in the tank. You can switch to twin Aeromotive 340 or twin Deatschewerks pumps and they fit just like a Walbro would and flow enough fuel.

I guess I could have asked first, but what are your goals, power wise? What type of fuel?

800 wheel on pump gas and meth will be for safety only. So basically it will be tuned to max power on pump gas. Then I will turn the meth on after it's tuned

My tuner told me that twin 340's would not be enough fuel and that I needed the 400's

Using a BSFC of 0.60, you would need about 368 L/Hr of fuel to support 1000fwhp. That is actually slightly more than 800rwhp using 15% drivetrain loss (assuming you have a standard car).

Twin Deatschwerks pumps have supported almost 1,100 rwhp using E85...They will laugh at 800rw on pump gas.
