Fuel Pump

cyberstang5.0 · 12-17-2001, 08:33 AM

I have a 190lph fuel pump in there now, and 24lb injectors in. I am about to get heads and cam for my ride. I might consider upgrading to 30lb injectors when I do it. Will my 190lph fuel pump be sufficent enough to get the fuel to the block? or will I need to get a 255lph pump? How will I know if my current pump aint cutting the mustard?

Your 190lph should be fine unless you go to nitrous, or blower then you will need a booster pump.

I'm running 24lb injectors, 190lph pump, with heads/cam/intake and 125hp shot of juice. Had no problems with it. The biggest thing I can suggest is a good quality tune. Good plugs, wires, etc. And have the injectors flow balanced. With just heads/cam/intake you'll be alright depending on selection.

I am in the process of doing my research on heads and cams. So far, I think I am going to get Edelbrocks Performer 5.0 aluminum heads and either a Comp cam or a Lunati cam. I can't decide what brand or setup I want. I am looking for a strong mid-high range and a loppy idle. I just don't want my pony to starve after I get my heads and cam installed.
