I need a fuel system for my p1-2 procharged car. I have anderson blower cams and will be pushing about 500 hp which fuel system will support this power? I have the 03 cobra pumps but ive been told that they wont be enough. I already have 42lb injectors and the cobra tank so what do i need to have enough fuel? Thanks

Not positive but I think that the Cobra pumps are good for up to 450-470 or so see if you can go with those and an inline pump as well..........jj

I know 2 cars that have almost 600 RWHP with 2 cobra pumps.. You'll definately need two, but I know it supports 600... You should be fine if that is your setup. 42LB. is pushing the limit, but I still think you'll be fine. Those same two cars have 42's..

Humm 600rwhp on 42's Not on a 99up car unless they are running 80+psi....
There is NO inline pump that will work with the returnless setup..SO you can rule that one out also..

Anyway stock cobra pumps will take you between 460~500rwhp depends on the rest of the fuel setup..

If you already have the cobra pumps/tank.And a bap.With that it will take you safely to 550+..I made 555rwhp with cobra pumps,bap and 42's.

If you plan on more power down the road .Get 60's and just tune the fuel down..Then you will have plenty of room to grow.

What he said.

Also, take a look at this article. It is about as informative as it gets.

Ok i read that article but from my understanding that pretty much refers to cobras. Ive been told that the cobra doesnt use up as much fuel as a GT does with the same power. So my question is will i be cutting it close running the dual cobra pumps with a bap and 42lb injectors? Or should i sell the 42's and get 55 or 60's? Or just go with the jdm kit? Please help

It just depends but lke i POSTED.555rwhp can be made with 42s',bap and cobra pumps.IF you WANT more then a feed line upgrade and bigger injectors would be a good idea.

Ok so you think that the 03 pumps, tank and the kb bap and 42's will support at least 500hp? Thats all im looking for at this point. I just want to make sure that i have enough fuel and dont want to risk blowing the motor up on the first pull.
