Cheap Fuel system to support 550-600hp

[Prostyle]

Ive been searching and seaching and cant seem to find much. Im looking for a fuel setup that will hold up to 550-600 hp.

Im been told a BAP with a 255 will work... Also a 03 cobra tank swap would work.

I just cant see spending 1500$ for a aeromotive setup when my goal isn't 800+hp.

I just need a setup that can handle 600

Any help is appericated.

Its a 96 cobra with 60lb injectors.

For that I would do a 255 in tank and a 255 inline with 60lb injectors.. This will handle 550-600rwhp.. It did for me..

Thats exactly what I have now, but friends and my tuner say it wont handle it.

Are the stock lines good to that power? and fuel rails?

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

the lines will be fine.. i have FORE fuel rails when I ran that.. oh and I had a stock intake with a 255lph inline.. Don't quote me on the intake but i'm almost positive..

So i should be fine with a wally 255 intank and inline and just throw on some fuel rails? Sweet. Worst comes to worst it fuel cuts and ill have to get the aeromotive stuff

I have the same setup as 98 saleen stated but I have stock fuel rails. My car 593/548 on the dyno but it would cut out in the upper rpm's because of fuel starvation. Im going to replace my inline 255lph with the Bosch 044 and cross my fingers. The pump is only $179 which im willing to give it a shot before I spend $1500+ on a fuel system that supports more power than I want to make!

Check this out. This seller on ebay has 10 of them brand new for $100. That saves you a little money you can spend on getting brackets and fittings. Seller has 100% positive feedback too.

HIGH FLOW FUEL PUMP 300PLH 0580254044 MOTORSPORT 044 - eBay (item 320623028032 end time Dec-27-10 07:04:12 PST)

EDIT: The link isnt to a Bosch but a fuel pump with the same ratings. If you search though im sure you could find a deal on one.

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

yup all those links and stuff should work just fine.. BTW I had the bosch 255 inline and that sucker was loud.. so just to let you know that inline pump is loud.

[98 Saleen Cobra]

Even better twin 044's there ya go..

 

[Prostyle]

So a pickup tube from glenns and a a1000 or a 044. with stock fuel rails?

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

Your stock rails should be fine, but why not upgrade?? I mean Aeromotive and a few other companys make them for pretty cheap yea know.. But you should be fine with the stock ones.

you're talking about this?

and this... and one should be good for 600ish?

Aeromotive A1000 Fuel Pump

 

[harvboi05]

MMR sells that fuel pump pick-up tube also.

An A1k is super overkill for 600whp, but will certainly get the job done.

yes and yes.. You might also want to consider pre and post filters for the pump as well. cheap insurance.

pre and post filters are a necessity. it varies pending pump manufacturer specs, but a 10 micron filter should definitely be used post-pump and 40-100 micron should be used pre-pump.

can these be run with my stock lines? I haven't had a car to this point as of yet, so this is new to me....
