Default Forced Induction Power Limit on Stock Fuel Lines?

Did a little search and couldn't find much info. Just wondering what the power limits are of a stock fuel line in EG's. Trying to get a base as to what I should do with my fuel system as the season nears closer. Any info will help, links, comments, whatever you can give me to lead me to a direction as to what I should be using to reach the power numbers I'd like to make this year. Thanks!

I have personally made ~575 whp on stock lines with just a walboro 255 pump. I think others have gone a bit higher but I'd say the safe limit is around 575-600 and thats more due to the pump than the fuel lines.

***remember fuel line sizing is tied to injector duty cycle***

550 WHP is a common limit.. I made 560 WHP on stock lines, and that was it. After upgraded lines, I had to drop injector duty by 20% which indicated maxed out stock lines.

People have made well over 600 on stock lines, that's a fact.

People have also made 400 hp on stock GSR motors. Does that make it a good idea? Does that make it reliable? For TTT to see a 20% reduction in duty when switching out lines says a LOT. Stock lines aren't meant for 550+ ... You might be able to do it, but you're putting unnecessary stress on your fuel pump by making it pump that much fuel through a tiny straw.

If you do an inline pump between the stock filter and the rail then you can make a lot on stock lines.

Will a walbro inline be fine for 550 on e85 when combined with a intank? or just stick with a bosch 044?

The Walbro will be at peak or close, better to use a Walbro intank to a Bosch Inline.

I've seen mid-500 whps with stock everything and Walboro 255lph. Seems like that's the typical concensus going around that's not too stressful to everything without an inline.
