BLOWER = not enough fuel

[5.0DuDe]

okay so i was at steeda today and they told me that i would have to have this much fuel work for my car to run right

42lb injectors (i have but not on )

vortech FMU ( i have but not on )

walbro 255 ( installed )

FPR (installed)

t- rex inline pump ( dont have at all )

by the way my car is a stock 94 gt with a v1 and exhaust

so what do u guys say i put on i need to get this car running right
should i buy the t-rex which i dont have and install it ????

or is there another inline pump i ca buy that is as good but a bit cheaper

and what fuel combos are u guys running or ur blower cars

With a stock car except the vortech just 42s and a 255 should be enough fuel, you dont really need the fmu or the t-rex at that point. If you ever upgrade anything significantly though, youll need them.

what do you mean significantly? like cam heads and 306?

You won't need an FMU - In fact if you run out of injector (42's should be good to 500) just get 60's. The T-Rex is questionable too - plus they make a lot of noise. When you get to 500 or around there, you should start thinking of a new fuel system anyway - lines, rails, etc. FMU's do not allow the EEC to have fine control of the fuel.

Our Turbo Gen 1 Lightning makes 560/700 on 42's with the FP at 55.... But it has a sumped tank and twin walbro 255 external pumps.

I've done plenty on those set-ups with just a 42# inj, 190-155lph pump and a T-Rex, no fuel issues at all.

You should not need the FMU with that inj on that combo..
