Default Fuel Pump Limits

I know dual cobra pumps support around 480-500 rwhp, but what about dual focus pumps or dual Ford GT (supercar) pumps. Or even one Ford GT pump. I found some info on my own but need more input.

so duel supercar pumps should be all a street car would need

It increases the voltage to the pump, and therefore increases the pumps's output, I believe.

If you're looking for safety, go return.

You could probably get away with two big pumps, but the problem isn't so much the fuel volume, it's that the pumps suck up fuel faster than the fuel can get to the pump, which is bad.

If you have the tank sumped, or go that semi-macguyver route with the soda can or whatever (I think that Doughboy4.6 is running it), you should be fine, as long as there is a constant supply of fuel around the pump.

yea I am going with the custom baffle like dough boy. I already have one focus pump, so if two focus pumps without a bap will support 525 rhwp that would be great
