Is this going to be enough fuel system?

Post by travis »

400-425 fwhp (hopefully) 351w, strictly street performance usage, factory dual tanks and 5/16” lines and a 80gph free flow rated Holley mechanical fuel pump. By my calculations it “should” be sufficient for the occasional blast through the gears, but just want to make sure.

The 5/16" suction side and switch over valve is the killer, it will drain the carb on long WOT power runs but ok for some 'spirited' street squirts.
Id change to 3/8" suction side and switch over valving then no problem.
