no way in hell ill be 450 i know ill be past 515rwhp b.c. the guy i bought the t-trim from made 515 rwhp on a stock motor and a 255 in tank pump with 60lb injectors

 

[super98snake]

ill be happy with 550rwhp but if i cant get 600rwhp im just gonna sell the car
haha

seriously just throw a inline pump on it.. It's not that expensive at all. Maybe the guy you bought the car from had a BAP on the car.. But still my money is on that it won't make that much power.. I had almost the same setup. except I was on a stock intank pump and a 255 inline with 60lb injectors.. I max my fuel system at 575rwhp.. and that was with 2 pumps..

Why do people halfass stuff. You'll spend 1000's on a blower and shorblock but when it comes to a $200 fuel pump you cheap out THE ONE AREA YOU DO NOT WANT TO CHEAP OUT ON IS THE FUEL SYSTEM! If anything order a stealth 340 that single pump will support 550.

Yeah man, that one 255 isn't going to take you that far. They are only rated to like 450 alone. You may squeeze 475-500 out of it but no more than that. You really need to hold off and get the other pump.

Chances, I got 14lbs. with a T-trim w/3.25" blower pulley and stock lower with full exhaust and no intercooler just for reference. So you may get 14lbs. out of it, but I would say more like 12lbs. with the intercooler.

How much does a 10% crank add? I've seen ATI has a crank pulley that's cheaper and it is somewhere between the IW 10%and 15%.

I think it's like 3-4psi

so if i go with another inline 255 i should be good to make close to 600? and i was looking at pumps and why is it that they skip over a 98 fuel pump in all mags. is a 98 cobra fuel pump setup different from at 99 or 97? i havent tore into my tank yet

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

Yes the 98's are a bastard year.. They are a year all in there own.. The fuel system isn't a 97 nor a 99.. It is its own year.. I think the only pump that drops in is a aviator pump. Yes if you add a inline 255 pump you will be close to 600rwhp

 

[super98snake]

but it shouldnt be any different when coming to change the pump out?

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

as long as you are putting a pump in that'll fit.. there isn't a 255lph pump from walbro that'll fit is the thing. you'll need a aviator pump

 

[super98snake]

shit i have a walbro 255

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

You'll have to modify the hat iirc.. There is a how to I believe in the SN95 section. I could be wrong though.
