Default will 60s be big enough?

I just ordered a new 2.9 whipple and am trying to peice together the rest of the junk ill be needing. My question is are 60s going to be enough or should i get some 80s instead? I plan to run around 18lbs of boost somwhere in the 650hp range im guessing. I dont plan on upping the boost anymore than that on this car so with that said.....are 60s going to flow enough?

This is claims 800 but im sceptical

Get the 80's ... car can be tuned to run perfect!

I just installed 60's with my POSI Port ... thought about 80's since I'll be going Whipple next!

60's are perfect for your set up you wont need to upgrade unless your into the upper 800's

i would look into a new fuel system though cause that gets maxed before your injectors do

...Those HP numbers look like fly wheel numbers in the link!!

2.3L = 60's IMHO

2.9L I'd personally go 80 with the upgraded fuel system!!

i was thinking 80s also, should run the same as the 60s if tuned right and they wont be maxed out, or close to it like the 60s.

Depends. If you are going E85 then you need to go bigger. If no E85 then 60#s are plenty for under 800.

still has its limits with a BAP...you can use one and it will work great till you burnt out your fuel pump cause youll be running it at like 110% of it capacity....thats where im stuck at is gettin a returnstyle fuel system and bigger pumps and im all maxed out on my fuel system at 650hp just a thought man
