all arp hardware throughout entire motor. thanks for the help.

 

With your current fuel set up I'd say right around a ~175 - 200 shot. With a different fuel system (stand alone or larger pump) you could go a bit further. What head gaskets?

Matt

 

all gaskets in the motor are fel-pro

 

Yes a 175 shot should be fine, just make sure everything is up and running good.

Josh

 

Go with 175.

 

Looks like a good set up. I woul look into upgrading the fuel system for sure.The single intake will be border line at about 175 maybe a bit more.A dual intake set up will work fine or look into our dedicated fuel systems.However with out splayed caps and with a stock crank 200 would be safe 250 would be border line.I suggest buying a qualitly NX system.If I can help with any tech advice feel free to send me a pm.

thanks for the advice. how would an in-line 255lph pump help. would that be enough for a 200 shot? thanks

 

I wouldn't use an inline pump IMO. Inline pumps are just band aids. They can "help" keep the pressure but they can't pump any more then the in tank pump can.

Matt

 

I completely agree.I do not suggest inline pumps.
Dave

 

so would i have to order the dual intank set up from racetronix or could i just add another in mine? if i could just add another one what would i need

 

I have seen people do this but I personay have not.I would just order the racetronix system.Let me know if I can help you with one.
Thanks
Dave

 

well it looks like it will be sometime then before i join the land of the spray since this is my daily drivcer and i cant afford the downtime on my car at this time. thanks everyone.
