fuel system for STS

what would be a good fuel system upgrades for the sts kit? i will be adding it to my stock motor but plans are in the works for a LC 355 with a mild turbo cam so i want it to be up to the job for down the road. i was thinkin the racetronics kit.

I have the Racetronix kit, and it works well. If you are planning on running 8psi or higher, I would suggest getting 60# injectors from the get go. I was almost maxing my 42's out at 8 psi.

255 intank and 60's should get you to 550-600rwhp. If you want more later, you can get a BAP.

could i run this on the stock motor with 5psi? im gonna bolt the SOB onto the stock motor but would like it to stay in one peice for a while. i figure dyno tune, and the 255 intank and bigger injecters along with the front mount should keep it good for a while.

Definietely. With a safe tune, the engine should last a while. he only you sacrifice with a safe tune is hp/tq. I'd rather tune it safe and make less hp/tq and have it last awhile...
