Fuel system upgrade needed.
Fuel system upgrade needed.
Well brought my car out to the track on Saturday to work on the suspension and my intank pump finally went out after 5yrs. Luckily I have a 255lph booster pump under the car so it still runs and drives ok but only ran 11.09@126mph before i noticed the pump wasn't working. So I am going to a Walboro 255lph intank pumnp and remove my inline pump. So now I will build a standalone fuel system for the n2o and leave the intank pump just for the motor. I wanted to know at what point are upgraded lines, regulator etc.. needed and what is best way to upgrade our fuel system for a 550-600flywheel horsepower LT1 without breaking the bank? It's obvious the stock parts work b/c my car has been 9's with the fuel system thats on it but since I am working on the fuel system, I would like to see what other people making 500-700HP are using. I am also contemplating going to a low pressure fuel system for the n2o like 10psi instead of 45-50psi anybody have pro's and con's to that? LMk Thanks Clint
There's a "sticky" on the Fuel & Ignition forum discussing fuel systems for high HP applications. Generally speaking, at 550-600 flywheel HP, the stock lines, rails and FPR are fine. I'm pushing 800HP (including a 300-shot of dry nitrous) through a -6AN supply line, which is the same diameter as the stock supply line.
Check the "sticky".

Thanks, I know quite a bit about n2o and your fuel jet changes with fuel pressure. I just didn't know if anybody else was running a low pressure n2o fuel system here, I remember seeing one guys 95 Camaro but don't remember his username. I am probably just going to build a 1 gallon aluminum cell and use my 255lph inline pump to provide the n2o fuel that way I don't have to buy all new fuel jets and a new pump. I found a Walboro intank 255lph pump for $75 on ebay anybody know if any sponsors sell them for that price?
Well a friend gave me a 255LPH pump to put in my tank so thats what I am going with for now. I am also going to use my 255LPH booster pump to provide fuel for the n2o side. I am going to go with a small 1-2gallon tank up front but does anybody know what regulator will work good on this?
