If you are making between 550-1000 hp yes it will allow you to make the big HP .The stock fuel system is limited to about 550 whp+ or - depending on you set up.

okay, well would you guys think im going to need to get the ams fuel upgrade because in a couple of months im getting a 2.3 or 2.4 stroker kit, big turbo, and head work done to my car. I was wondering if i would need the fuel upgrade or just get a walbro fuel pump, and 4 700 injectors.

Because the fuel pump and injectors are sooo much cheaper then the fuel upgrade.. what exactly does the kit come with cus i dont understand it. Well sorry for being kinda ignorant. Well ur help would be great.

from what I have heard the stock fuel system with a walbro and big injectors is limited to 600whp so if you want more you will have to upgrade to some fuel system that will feed more fuel into your motor or you will be limited to that hp...

you will def need something past the 500-550 mark and bigger injectors than 700's and with the AMS kit you get a bigger fuel rail, fuel pres. regulator,stainless fuel lines, 2 upgraded walbros, and you will never have to worry about running out of fuel and toasting your new engine running lean.

RNR racing just posted they made like 731whp on a gt40 turbo and they are going bigger to make more HP. I do not any other system that uses the stock fuel tank but just like it has been said you can upgrade all the fuel components and run 2 pumps with some fabrication.

Yeah, RnR already made 731 with their 2.4 block and AMS isn't done with their "new" setup. It should make some very very nice numbers.

how much $$$ are you trying to spend, there's tons of solutions to fueling but it depends on your overall budget
