Hey guys, I'm needing a little advice on what fuel system upgrades I need to/maybe need to do. I recently got an o/r xpipe installed and I am getting it retuned in a couple weeks so I want to do as many upgrades that I can right now that require a retune.

Mod list:
JLT CAI
BASCT2600 MAF Sensor
Magnaflow Catback
UPR Offroad X-Pipe
2.8X upper pulley

Plenty of other mods but those are the relevant ones. Currently it makes 438/478 whp/wtq at 14psi on the stock eaton. The tuner says he can get it to 450whp with the xpipe but any further and I need fuel upgrades. At some point in the future I plan on upgrading the supercharger so overkill on fuel mods wouldn't go to waste however I really don't want to spend a ton of money. This is my daily driver and the only fuel available to me is 91.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

cheapest route would be 60lb injectors and a BAP. Good for 600rwhp

Thanks for the replies! How much do you think the install would be for injectors and a BAP? As far as doing it myself, I probably could, I have friends who are a bit more car savy than me. The only think I've ever done is install my shifter, and switch some vacuum/boost lines around. Also, holy crap, I didn't realize injectors were so much! Lol.

you wont need injectors with those mods, from what i can tell the injectors are good for 5-520 whp on MOST cars, ofcourse some are different. a bap is all i'd really recommend at that level and even that isn't quite necessary until you upgrade the blower. I have mods in my sig, stock injectors, and before i put the bap on with all the mods the pumps were at 98% duty cycle so it needed the bap then, but on a stock eaton you should be fine.

It seems I'm just gonna stick with what I have for now. My tuner suggested I get an upgraded heat exchanger first, then fpdm and upgraded fuel pumps before a BAP or injectors. I don't really need all that now and it would run me around 2 grand if not more for all that and the tune. So I'll probably just wait until I upgrade the blower.

2 grand will get you a complete return system with hat pumps rails injectors fuel lines regulator and filter. Have you checked the market section? You must be a newb if u think a bap and injectors are a lot lol.

fpdms and new pumps before just adding 60's and a BAP?:shrug:

I got new 60's with a couple dyno runs on them for $240 and paid $100 for a Bap from a member here...AND the tuner wants you to rip out your returnless for return with 450RW?
Another baffling piece of advise??
