Affordable Fuel Pump Upgrade -- if it is possible

[Blanky]

I'm at 500 with only the supercharger injectors and headers

Holy Shit Batman!! That would be cool!!! But I'm not sure..... I was at 497 at the wheels -- so I'm im kind of thinking the cam / injector upgrade would NOT push me up to 550. I would think it would give me another 25 perhaps at the wheels.


Shoot - 550rwhp+ is serious street hardware.

If you got a good cam it might very well give you that much.

So you could be at 550 add some meth and pulley it a little and who knows? Bt if your happy with the general power your gunna berunning then the zl pump would be fine. Also you should consider how much power you wanna make with your poor 6l80

I'm note sure it's "good" or not Wreck -- but here are the specs. Anyway -- it's in the car and I'm stuck with it. I"m burning too much cash with this damn car as it is! :-)
Intake Duration @ 50 = .216
Exhaust Duration @ 50 = .230
Intake Lift - .611 (with the Yella Terra 1.85's)
Exhaust Lift - .624 (with the Yella Terra 1.85's)
Lobe Separation: 114

Is that a Patrick G. spec? If so, it's good.

You could -- but we would all know from the "visible" gas filler ring painted on your face! :-) ......don't do it! :-)

Actually not -- but I actually did have Patrick spec me out a cam!!

a) I went to the engine build shop and we talked about what I needed / wanted from the car (i.e., reliability, cross country driving, etc. -- but it has a blower, yadda, yadda)
b) I filled out a Patrick G cam spec sheet and sent in my $25.00 - but the email address for payment was not directly to him -- so I paid & attached the spec sheet - I didn't realize that the spec sheet "had to go directly to Patrick" and NOT that other address -- totally my fault! So....the spec sheet request never made it to him until a week later when I noticed I had not gotten anything back from him --- he cleared things up on how the process should have worked. ...it was on me for the mis-fire.
c) By that time the engine builder had called Comp Cam directly and they spec'd out the cam that is in the motor today.

I'm theorizing that the 6l80 should live (a bunch of burned rear tires though) -- as long as I don't strap drag radials to the drive train! Then all bets are off!
