Do you need upgraded fuel system for the Vortech SC Trim (5 psi)? And what are some dyno numbers for a stock GT @ 5-6 psi? 9psi?

I "think" you can get away with the stock fuel pump
But you will need at least 24 # injectors, Id go with 30# injectors,

obviously the caliberated Mass air sensor,

and I dunno if you need an ajustable Fuel pressure regulator,
I think you would be looking at about 300 BHP on a stock motor,
No more than 325
Should be good for 13 sec 1/4 miles,

Get good traction/tires and you will see high 12's

People if Im wrong Im sorry, but thats my guess

Correct me if im wrong and school as nessasary

I would go 255lph fuel pump, 30 or 36lb injectors, calibrated MAF, and a good tune and with a few boltons and exhaust you should hit 300rwhp

i have that blower on my car. they say you would be safe with the stock pump. i upgraded to a 8rig pulley and i'm making 8 pounds of boost. i have a typhoon intake,30# injectors, bbk shorties, bassani cats,and on the dyno with 19# injectors the car made 354hp at the wheels.

You don't HAVE to replace the fuel pump (still a good idea, though)-- I am running one on my STOCK 5.0 -- runs great...if you end up doing more mods, definately beef up the fuel system.
