Default Fuel system advise

Need help with fuel system advise. Car is fixing to be put on the rack for a long awaited build with all the goodies ive been putting together over the last few months. Heres what I have

ls7 with wiseco forged pistons
fully ported heads
660 dbl springs
trunion
fast intake
nw 102
qm600 cam
nitrous plate kit
stand alone nitrous tank and pump


I am hoping to see 550 rwhp on a mustang dyno, and i am set to spray up to 300 shot, i will be probably spraying 250 shot for the texas mile.

I am worried about the stock fuel system delivering enough fuel and need help deciding whether or not to replace stock setup with something else

A&A Corvette makes an affordable fuel system. Especially in a mile run, I'd upgrade....stock system will not be enough. Go to the forum FI section and message Joshua at A&A...good guy and he'll set you up.

No need to upgrade the factory fuel system, I would just use the Racetronics harness. The dedicated fuel system will take care of the Nitrous system. I would worry more about the stock liners. Who is doing your work or turning? I will be running down there next month.

***** and Tracie will take good care of you. The factory piston liners will be your weak link. Progressive controller? I talked to Tracie on Friday about some fuel.
