Hey guys. I just recently put a 331 stroker in my 89GT. It has 30# injectors, 70mm throttle body, 75mm mass air meter, and a holley systmax intake, what fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator should I go with on this set up? Any help is much appreciated.

is your combo going to be N/A or forced induction? i dont see where you even need 30lb injectors.

I have seen multiple people on here running the trick flow top end kits with 19's and there perfect.

but to answer you question Aeromotive has nice regulators and Holley has good pumps.

but then again everyone has there own opinion n whats best.

For now its naturally aspirated, but in the future it will be supercharged. I'm also wondering what size fuel pump? Also, when it gets hot the starter drags, do I need a high torque starter. Thanks for any help.

I went with a walbro 255 high pressure part number gss340 the whole install kit with everything you need is 99 bucks shipped from ebay. Also google the aeromotive they have had some failures , I would like to see some people review the accufab as I like there throttle bodies! Do you have long tubes? if so they are known for heat soaking the regular sized starters and a mini starter would be in order.

I dont have long tube headers, but I did go with new BBK shorties when I installed the motor, and thats when the problem started. I'm thinking the same thing, like it has something to do with heat. I've never even heard of a mini starter. Where can I get one?
