Default fuel question

Trying to get a good fuel system for the new build. I'm shooting for 950-1000rwhp and was looking at the new big fuel system with a&a and asked if it could make the power with E85 and they told me I was on my own with E85. Anyone running this kit at this power. Please share fuel setups for this power level and price out the door for everything. Trying to stay under $1500

Typical rule of thumb is you need 30-40% more fuel to support E85 meaning you need a fuel system that will handle 1300rwhp on pump.

I think you can get by with a single magnafuel external fuel pump controlled by a hobbs switch to supply your needs when start making boost.

Others with more experience will chime in for some good recomendations

Dual or triple in tank for e85. I would run triple AEM pumps on a billet hat.

I run an A1000 in tank and a magna fuel external. I should never have to worry about fuel again. Sure I have a little over kill and my fuel is heating up a little more than necessary, but if I ever decide to unrestrict the F2, I know I will have plenty of fuel. But all of this is going to put you way over $1500, but you got to pay to play and fuel isn't something I would do on a budget.

I agree, but that will surpass your budget I believe.

stock pump + magnafuel 4303 here... stock pump is dying, so i'd say i'm almost entirely on the 4303 making 915whp on E85.

I did a full diy custom fuel setup, there's a thread out there somewhere w/ the basic idea, but I need to update the part #'s.

$200 for a hat, $100 a pump, so $500 then add some lines, etc.
