I have a 1993 camaro that I am setting up for twin turbos. I am not looking to make 1000 hp but may make around 800.
Here is my question recently I had to drain my gas tank to rid it of four year old gas so I decided to let the fuel pumps do it for me unhooked the lines and ran them into a five gallon can then direct wired the in tank pump and my t-rex boost pump to run. I expected a very violent stream to come out but all I got was a trickle I know the pumps are working right the car runs and the battery was charged. even so it took about 10 minutes to fill a 5 gallon can gas just trickling out like a garden hose on low.
After observing this I began to think that the factory line has a lot more potential than I thought and with the right pump it may be able to supply enough volume to support 800 hp.
Anyone who has ever cracked open a presurized line sees fuel spray all over but this is like taking your finger off the end of a garden hose you see the pressure not the volume. I know everyone is into trick fuel systems but is it really needed or is it overkill?
