It will support more than that.

I should be making about 400RWHP N/A, and will be spraying a 150 shot, and I'm not the least bit worried about my fuel system (Walbro 255, 30# SVO's, stock replacment type fuel filter, everything else bone stock). You have nothing to worry about fuel wise.

I have the same setup. 400rwhp (well, working on that) plus I want to do a 100shot wet. I have the Racetronix pump installed. I asked them what filter they recommended.

They told me stock - so I put a stock one in.

I always like it when Rich posts this. Reminds me of those old cartoons where a huge weight labelled "1 ton" would fall out of a window and squash someone.

(not implying you've been squashed or anything, sideways...)

No squash intended, but it's amazing what myths get perpetrated. I am on the fence about changing anything except the injectors (along with LJ's low-z driver which I already purchased) for this years setup (est. another 150hp). I probably will go to a sumped tank with bigger lines and some changes to the rails, but not because I am sure it's needed. It's that I suspect it is, and I don't want to get further behind as my May 1st target date is looking closer and closer.

stock fuel lines, walbro 255, and a generic old rusty no-name filter here. supported 132mph at 3600lbs, and had plenty left over to make it pig rich.
