Just wanted to see what the majority of you guys are doing to support that type of power. We're making 610ish now and running out of fuel quick, so it's time to change the whole system out, but just wanted to see if anybody could enlighten us. Thanks.

 

What engine setup do you have???

 

It's going to depend on what type of combo you're going with. A nitrous car is going to have different needs than a blower or turbo car. :cheers:

 

Well, it's a blower car, but anything making over 700rwhp, whether it be nitrous or forced induction, needs some serious fuel.

 

700RWHP :eek:

 

We have used the Racetronix setup and it works well.

 

Well your kinda correct and kinda not... A nitrous fuel system is different than a blower system but your right saying they need serious fuel.

For your blower set-up im not 100% sure, but im sure there are a few here who can help.

But for my nitrous car i have a totally designated fuel system to run nitrous. Most people tap another line in the tank, but i didnt want to do this as i run 93 octane in the tank and 112-116 in the fuel cell.

This is how it alls works on my specific vechicle.
Stock tank - fuels motor only - rwhp around 500

fuel cell fuels nitrous system
*fuel cell
*Filter
*Holly Fuel Pump (Blue)
*fuel regulater (regulated to 10psi)
*Digital fuel pressure gauge
*Ran to fuel solenoid @ 10psi

Nitrous system jetted as calculated to 10psi
Spray 200-400 HP

Now I have heard that most people with blower cars going with a racetronix, aeromotive fuel systems, or barrygrant fuel systems - someone might be able to chime in or you can contact the manufacturer directly and anyone of them can help you obtain your needs. :yesnod: :thumbs:

PS Racetronix supports the Corvette forum, might want to check them first :D

 

:cool: :cool: :thumbs:

 

the post say's 700rwhp not 400 rwhp lbb99...... :nonod: :nono:

 

I only have 668 rwhp... sorry I cant be of help.. :nopity

It depends on the year of your car, different year C5's have different systems from the factory.

We offer a nice Walboro in tank pump that comes complete, assembled in a C5 fuel canister that is a bolt in replacement for your stock pump. Couple this with a boost-a-pump, and a set of properly sized injectors, and this setup will handle your fuel needs.

here is a link to the fuel pump: http://www.lingenfelter.com/lingenfe...0&dept%5Fid=17

let me know if I can answer any specific questions for you.

I have a non-vette related fuel system question.

I have a 69 Camaro with a ASM BBC TPI 468 (mark 4) and GMPP Oval ports.

The problem is that after 20 min or so of driving, the fuel in the tank heats up and vapor lock starts.

My fuel system consists of a sumped tank, a holley 140 GPM carb pump then an SX performance EFI pump. The pressure and return lines are 3/8 and #6 AN.

Is there a reason, other than engine heat that would cause the fuel to heat up to this degree? I have measured 130' on the outside of the tank with an IR gun.

With the griffen aluminum rad and dual 12' spal fans I'm able to keep the engine temp down around 170 even stopped in traffic on a hot day.

Thanks in advance for any info you might be able to supply.

 

689 rwhp with 30# injectors. Every thing else is still stock. :cheers:
