fuel pump recommendations - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

morepowerjoe · 11-10-2022, 01:34 AM

Hey guys I'm new to the boosted life so go easy on me. I just got my new engine finished up and am now looking to the future with a pro charger. So I was wondering what I should do for the fuel pump? I plan on only going up to 750 whp and was wanting to know if anyone makes a drop in pump that will be sufficient for that kind of power? I really don't want to mess with a return line and all that in less that I have to. Thanks

This used to be the most common recommendation;

Gonna be tough to do on a returnless system - been awhile when I researched fuel systems (so I could be wrong ) but for the power level your wanting to be at there was no drop in solution without running feed and return etc..

You could get away with turning stock feed line into return and just running a feed , if you’re planning on running e-85 - you’re gonna need a flex fuel sensor wires into your ecu too- I’m sure you probably know , e-85 pushes the fuels system .

Livernois have a drop in pump that is good for around 850 to 800 whp

I ran a LPE twin-fuel (CTS-V pump) with a Kenne Bell boost-a-pump (BAP) for 745whp on E66 on LS3, FWIW. You can yield, maybe, 50whp less with a ZL1 pump and BAP.

That looks like what I will probably do. But 2k for a pump gosh darn.

And I don't think I will do E85 because it's so hard to find. I know it's the best way to go I just don't want to be stuck out in the middle of nowhere and not be able to find it.

Or maybe I'll stay under 700 whp and just go to a zl1 pump. I just don't want to start breaking stuff is the reason I don't want more then 750 whp.

zl1 pump with meth or ctsv twin pump with upgraded pumps. Or like said above dsx fuel system.

Probably was in the same boat as me. They were on back order and I ended up with the agp turbo kit.
I waited for 4-5 months with a order placed and never got it and started looking around at other options. I really liked the agp kit it reused the factory feed line as a return line and there harness was very well thought out and clean. If I remember correctly it uses the fore pump but everything else from the kit they put together.

Do you intend on running e85? That might change things up a bit for what pump you decide to go with.

Thanks guys for the recommendations I really appreciate it. I like the livernois but man that thing is expensive but that is exactly what I'm looking for.
