Still trying to go WOT for 10-15 minutes at a time, eh?

Just kidding with ya. This really depends upon whether or not you're using injectors that may overwork the pump a bit, like over 120lbs/min injectors. I have found that even for 500whp, a good Walboro255 342 does the job quite well up to injectors over 95lbs/min. The stock fuel lines will hold, but when you start going above 600whp, its time to change them out. The issue w/ using stock fuel lines may also be addressed depending upon the type of fuel used. Pump/C16/Q16 gas vs. say Methonal or alcohol require some changes to the lines.

Bottom line; for 500whp a Walboro255 342 hi flow pump will do just fine, and is inexpensive to purchase and install

As for you ignition, I've always liked making sure that the ignition system is upgraded when going over 400whp. I know there are plenty of people that use the stock system, but having the added spark makes more efficient use of my good spark plugs, and keeps my engine sparking high and tight, regardless of the RPMs.

Ignition systems have become much less expensive than they have from years past (including digital ones) and the summit racing series does quite well (They are re-badged Mallory Digital systems). And at about $220 for both box and external cap, the price can't be beat for the insurance. For your goals, keep it simple. No need for coil-on-plug or other adaptive systems unless you're really ready to convert your car to an all-race track application

not to be a dick but if you're worried about the turbo being streetable then you should really consider using pump gas....unless you're just trying to make a ringer that you only drive to the meets....just something to think about....its kinda hard to find race gas at your local station if you run low while out cruising

I agree with the other guy, I doubt you're going to be running C16 on the street. If you are, good for you... I had similar goals and went with a 3076r. With E85 you can get to about 500 with those cams.

Its a B16 so you are going to need a bigger turbo to get 500whp on pump gas.

Stick to 500whp on race gas and maybe 400 on pump. That is a really fun range for street car. A walboro, ID 1000cc injectors and maybe a 3076r is a good combo.

Anything's possible. But most on here will tell you 500 is far too dangerous on 91. Its about the limit of E85 in your set up. Trust me when I tell you 400-450 is easy to get and will be a handfull to deal with. My advice is keep it at 400 and make your new mission how to hook up with FWD on the street. Good luck
