It's not a daily it's my n/a race/weekend car. I can't change fuels like that it has to be consistent or as consistent as possible. I only get gas from 2 different stations in stl

Erick (nitrousjunky) uses it in his boosted IS300. Runs a lottt better and more consistent. JJ uses it in his 700something whp civic, and my buddy Jon runs it in his SRT-4 (448 whp)

yeah i know, but its not worth the cost not for me to do it, like i said if i do a different build down the road i might switch but righ not my 450s are at like 78% or something along those lines. id have to get new ones and a retune would cost me like 1500$ in gas to get there and back and the tune plus redoing my fuel system so doing it now just isnt worth the 10-15whp id gain from it.

and what kinda pump system are you running i know that with twin 255's they will pump enough for around 550hp on e85 and if you ran like a boost a pump you could prolly get around 750. or are you running something more or less like a arimotive a 1000?

Shoot for more than I have now... no real number in mind but the Id1600's or maybe Id2000's (depending on whats the better deal from tony for the money) will definately support upward of 600+whp. :rock:

Hell a few guys have made 600whp on the national forums with a set of Id1000's, with high fuel pressures of course to get the most from that injector.

For a number of reasons... I am running an oddball fuel setup. Some being a lack of options with my accord chassis and aftermarket support, some cost reasons, ground clearance problems if I went sumped, etc. Basically its 3 total fuel pumps system instead of the couple I run now. 2- 044 bosch pumps pushing fuel from a custom built surge tank and 1- walbro in tank to serve as a lift pump/ feed pump to the surge tank.
