Well, my motor should be in the car within the next few weeks so my next step is an adequate fuel setup.

I know everybody has their own input on which fuel route to go, but I do already have return set so thats a plus

I was originally going to go with the glennsperformance 1000 hp kit:
http://www.glennsperformance.com/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=61

I want a fuel setup that can support 700rwhp

All I have as of right now are Edelbrock fuel rails and 60# injectors

I pretty much was planning on going with just about everything in that kit:
2 walbro pumps
aero fpr
sumped tank
8 feed line
6 return
y block
fuel filter

My question is, do you guys think that I can part this stuff together on my own for cheaper than a $1400 kit, just seems super expensive and it doesnt seem like guys spend near that for fuel systems to support a 600rwhp car

i spent the extra coin on the fuel system. basically the whole a1000 kit except fuel rails. i have a set of CPR rails, 60lb injectors with pigtail clips. i have not installed yet because of time issues. i may have a shop install it for ease of cursing and throwing wrenches. i can not weld neither. the shop i utilize during my installs prohibits use of welding and painting.

You can piece it together and more then likely find a deal and make it work. Hell I got a back aero FPR for under 100 bucks barly used. So can it be done. If im building a car like yours and fuel is more critical with a blower set up, I would make sure everything works together very well before I tired (ie id use the kid if money is no issue right now) If you have the time to make it work, and hunt the deals down, then piece away.

I'm going for 600rwhp with only a 40amp BAP, 60# injectors, and a Walbro 255.

A lot of people are skeptical but I think it'll be just fine. Only the dyno will tell :)

If that were the case and that reliable everybody would save thousands and just go that route.
I have done a decent amount of reading on fuel and seems as though pretty much 2 fuel pumps, sumped tank, y block, fuel filter, rails, 60# injectors, fpr, 8 feed, 6 return is the way to go and I will never have to worry about a thing
I just dont want to build a 10k motor and cheap out on the fuel, ya know

Yea I hear ya, and most people don't go this cheap because they're skeptical.

I'll let you know the results. If worst comes to worst i'll have to keep the power tuned down until I throw a complete fuel system on like you!
