What kinda of HP can the stock fuel system handle?
I was browsing though summit today looking at some heads and cams..anyway I was just curious what kind of Horsepower the stock fuel system can safely handle? I was guessing maybe 250??

the stock pump is the weak link, I am not sure of the exact hp limit before things run lean but all I can say is if you are doing heads and cam you better be budgeting for a fuel pump at least.... the 19s are good till like 300 at the wheels or close to.... running them full bore I heard isnt the smartest thing to do.

Alot of people on the coral with Kenne Bells are running 500 RWHP with the stock fuel rails and lines, I think its the number 7 or 8 that runns lean after 500 but I am not 100% sure, as well on that thread that I was reading there was alot of different answers.... either or after 500 and all the money invested I would be purchasing some high flows for a piece of mind they are only a couple hundred dollars to save a rebuild
