Fueling question

How much power will the stock lift pumps / fuel lines support? Im assuming theyre in tank electric pumps correct?

Thanks,
Mike

It's a manual lift pump mounted on top of the engine.

Anything bigger then stageI's and you'll want to change over to electric fuel.

Oh... well crap. So wont work anyway, i was thinking theyre in tank pumps, and was going to swap them into my IDI and run a regulator...

So what do you PSD guys run for pumps then? 40-50gph + @ 6psi would be ideal.

Truck is a 92, not the one in my sig, if that makes a difference to you guys.

If switching to electric fuel, lots of us run super duty style electric pumps. It's a regulated return system, set at around 70psi.

Gotcha, ya thats my last ditch effort is regulated return with a high pressure pump. Looking at low pressure pumps for 12v's now i guess.

How do you like the S366? Im kicking around the idea of Aurora 3000 or something bigger. Truck is a DD part time tow rig so i figured something on the small side would be better.

A s366 is perfect for DD, towing or play. It can help make 450hp with out a problem.
