More money? How do you figure? A bap is 250+ and 1 pump is $120.

You can do this setup $120+$120+Y-block $25.00.

What module are you speaking of? Once you get into mods this high,nothing is just bolt on anymore....

Thats does not look like any Racetronix DP setup! Let's compare apples to apples here! Our DP system is a complete PnP drop-in. No mods required period!

I never asked about your setup man. I was saying in general

I have about 420rwhp through a TH400 and a 3800 stall. Not sure if I will be pushing the limit. I would replace the whole system now but funs limit that right now. Any help would be appreciated.

Back to the subject at hand...

A single in-tank Racetronix system will support apx. 550 RWHP depending on your motor's BSFC and the max. fuel system pressure. The Walbro GSS340M flows 255L/Hr @ 43.5PSI @ 13.5V. There is no such thing as a Walbro 340L/Hr in-tank pump. Since your motor is most likely N/A you might be able to support over 600RWHP safely if you maintain the system pressure at apx. 43.5PSI. We always recommend monitoring your fuel pressure under WOT to make sure there is no pressure drop occurring. While some people may quote higher numbers that they or others may have achieved using the Racetronix system we can not endorse their findings / recommendations. We must always side with caution and maintain a healthy safety buffer to avoid motor damage should the pump be subject to adverse conditions.
