C7 fuel pump
hey guys i will build my car in mid of march and i read that the biggest issues was the pistons and the fuel pump if you are going higher than 700whp.
i will go with a wiseco 10.5 compression, but i don't know what to do about the fuel pump.
what fuel pump you guys recommend for my build that will hopefully be around 750 to 850 whp?
is there any other issues other than the pistons and the fuel pump for this level of WHP?
my build going to be as listed:
1- ARH LTH 1 7/8 + NON cated xpipe
2-A&A YSI trim
3-FSP breather
4-alky control duel nozzles
5-custom cam package from cunningham motorsports with bigger fuel lope
6-wisco pistons with 10.5 compression
7-compstar rods
8-hpfp (didn't get it yet)
yesterday car was retuned and was making 725 whp with 15psi at 5700 rpm then car ran out of fuel, temp was 102F
does anyone know from where i can get the zo6 hpfp

Are you planning to daily it? I dont see a reason you couldn't other than how aggressive of a cam you do. The meth will help IAT's. 124 is cooking for sure though lol. You may want to do a 160* tstat and a dewitts radiator to help with cooling..

from what i read, i don't think i will need the injectors, the hpfp is good enough, I'm also getting a cam package with BIG LOBE, what pistons you are running ? stock rods or aftermarket ?

It's the ECS 1500 @ 13psi. Pistons are the drop in forged ones from Vengeance and the heads have been upgraded to match the cam. Stock rods and crank.
As far as injectors, if you can swing the little extra do it while it's all apart.

1- ARH LTH 1 7/8 + CATTED xpipe (and Borla ATAK axle back exhaust)
2- ECS 1500 @ 12-14 pounds (soon to be upgraded to the 2200HD at 18 pounds)
3- Factory breather w/ ECS supplied air filter
4- Dual Nozzle Alky Control @ the #8 setting on the controller
5- Texas Speed & Performance VVT-1 cam with bigger 33% fuel lobe
6- Texas Speed & Performance heads package
7- Wiseco Forged LT1 Pistons with lowered 10.5:1 compression
8- Circle D Pro III 3000-3200 stall converter
Our car is on the verge of being "too much" for the streets. 1st - 3rd gears, forget about it. We've punched it at approximately 70 mph's and have gone sideways. At this power level, it takes patience and skill. Since our engine is forged now, we will probably end up somewhere around the 925 rwhp level + or - with the new blower and pulley combo. We are also about to swap out our Borla for a Corsa Extreme as well. Next round of go fast goodies for us will probably focus on axles / half shaft / beefing the trans. But that's for another conversation.. LOL

Dual nozzle setup, though it doesn't seem to use as much as others. I'm still on the same 5 gallon drum from last August and probably have 2 gallons left in it plus whatever is in the car.
