Pump upgrade

Good question. I even thought about seeing if the 13-14 GT500 fuel system would work. I hear its good for 900hp.
You can make a 465lph pump fit in the stock hanger, its not designed for it but it can and has been done. The stock pump is 400lph iirc.
It would be nice not to have to spend 1500+ for a fuel system, just something good to about 750whp or so would be fine
I'm really surprised with all the people in the 550-700 range with F.I, a vendor hasn't gotten a stock hat replacement.
Like most people I'm not looking to spend $1800 on a 1400 RWHP fuel setup. Something like a drop in Walbro 465 without all the return setup/three pump non-sense to eliminate the need for a BAP while being E85 capable.

Exactly I totally agree. I think fore has a two pump hat but I'm sure its in the 1200 range, still alittle steep
I personally think that upgrading just the fuel pump for a bigger/better one, and leaving everything else stock is like putting a bandaid on the problem. If you are already outgrowing the stock pump, which means in are making north of 650-700whp, it's time to bite the bullet and go with a return system IMO.
I don't think that your fuel system is a place to go cheap. I went jpc double pump return thru beef and have zero regrets, hell I almost got the triple 465 pumps
I understand, but why run something at almost full tilt, ie stock pump with bap, when you can go with a fuel system that grows with your mods. I have stock motor with paxton on corn. I am happy with current power right now, but how long will that last. Build motor and my fuel system is still good, because I have plenty of pump left over.
If you are going to NEVER go over say 600-650 or if daring 700 then sure maybe the full return double pump is overkill, but how many can stop at any given number.
We all mod and mod and mod. I went over kill with the beefcake special ran id1000s and stock 3.8 pulley with bap. I knew it would not be long until I wanted more and I didn't want to upgrade my injectors again. Sure enough I added return fuel 3.6 pulley and made the swap to corn. Then came the torque booster / wastegate with 8 rib and 3.15 pulley. It never ends.
Build your fuel system for future mods not current.
If you can set a limit and really stay there then good on you, because I can admit that I will never stop modding this or any car as long as I can.
I sent my stock pump off to a member on here along with pictures and measurements in October. He wanted to make an upgrade option for the stock hat. Not sure how it went, never heard anything or checked back with him to see.
Working on... a plug and play fuel pump upgrade?
That would be a huge help to the community.
90% of the people on here needs a fuel system to support no more than 1000hp... and if you can accomplish that without breaking the bank, people would be all over it.
Shaun can you say if it will be any time soon?
Does he plan on selling it without having to purchase a turbo kit, like his transbrake?

Stock pump @21volt is will supply enough fuel for ~720rwhp STD at 7200rpm though an auto at .79 lambda on E85.
My data logs show its still pulling about 2% fuel up top, so I'd imagine thats close to the limit on e85.
