First gen camaro fuel system options to support 800whp on e85

[ssteve]

Looking to start piecing together a fuel system that will support about 800whp with an injected/turbo LS motor. The car is a 69, and will be getting mini tubbed, and I dont really want to spend the $1200+ for a factory style narrowed injection tank, so Im wondering what my other options would be? Would a fuel cell and a external through the trunk pan be the easiest and cheapest route without potential problems?

why risk ruining your engine worth thousands to save a few hundred? Only thing external is going to come close to working is an A1000 that I am aware of and need a sumped tank.

It's a stockish 5.3L, so it's worth $600 maybe. And "why"? Because I don't have $3000 to spend on a fuel system, so I'm looking for cheaper alternatives.

Tanks inc makes a factory style sumped tank with an intank pump with an option of up to 1k hp.

That's what I'm going with, it's not as pretty as a Rick's tank. But one day... one day.

800 rwhp and "stockish 5.3" are not anywhere in the same ballpark. To get 800 rwhp your making close to 1000 hp at the crank. 5.3 unless fully custom built will still be short of 500hp. I was merely responding to your initial post for horsepower needs and a stockish 5.3 requires something completely different. I would still run an Aeromotive external pump and corvette regulator, just no need for a1000. I would search around for someone upgrading tanks first, they occasionally show up in the classifieds.

I am running an a1000 with a glenns performance tanks....look at their tanks i like the one i have it is the sleeper version....i dont think an a1000 will support that much

[DButler]

If it does it will be pushing the limits...pretty sure it wont for sure on e85.....maybe the eliminator version will be close

I don't know if heads cam and intake qualifies as fully built:

And that's through an automatic.
