Default WHats next?

WHats my next step to a bullit proof setup?

My mods:
rkt56 built TT, trans and diff w DTE brace.
Mcleod RXT twin
Racetronix rewire and KPBAP
e85 w 80 lb inj
Forged 346 built to handle 1000 bhp
Procharger A and A kit P1sc

SHooting to start out at 550 whp to make sure everything is solid and will quickly turn boost up to around 650

My car is a return style fuel system so it should be ok to this level.

My question is what is my next step to have a solid setup?

End goal is about 800ish reliable whp w 140ish traps in the 1\4

Your gonna max out those injectors on E85 at 650 rwhp. Don't even bother with them and go with 100lb or higher from the get go. If your end goal is 800 Rwhp then you definitely need 100lb or up injectors.

You don't need anywhere near 800 rwhp to trap 140 MPH. More like 625-650.

I had 2 Bosch 044 external pumps and a C6z in tank pump but now just running 1 044 pump with the in tank one and it does just fine.

Even with E85, perhaps Meth Injection to keep things cool -

and I agree you will need a D1SC or F1 to get your desired 800 RWHP -

Fuel pumps sound good, but like said you'll need some more injector too!

Thanks,Matt

too bad you already have the blower kit, I have my paxton and fuel system I'm selling which made 800 on my 346. Of course I did it with pump gas and meth, not E85......I'm still trying to decide myself if the extra fuel system cost and low mpg makes E85 worth it over pump/meth.

Not up to date on prochargers but I'd be leaning towards an F unit I think.

with how much safer it is to run on e85, Ill spend the extra just for a fuel system. It burns 215 deg cooler than pump so every thing runs cooler. Plus corn is a awesome defense against detonation. I am planning on tuning for both if I get caught (havent yet) not being ableto find corn in a pinch. I sprayed on corn just under 600 whp last few years w stock fuel system so hoping to be good to 650 whp this year w just a injector change. Just curious what your asking for your setup too and more details.
