Fuel Pump?
My goal is to eventually be in the 450-500rwhp range. My question is, can I support that amount of power with a 2nd gen piston pump or should I go straight to an electric pump set-up?
Thanks,
Matt

There is quite a few guys running a piston lift pump with some high hp #'s the big thing is not the pressure but the consistency of the pressure going to the VE. If you use the 2nd gen pump you will need a regulator and I think the prime psi is 12 or so.

14mm H/R, 6x16's(or bigger) and possibly twins. I was kinda leaning towards an electric set-up anyways but wanted to get some imput from the 1st Gen Guru's.
