John is right. And didnt you say this is a temporary setup anyway? If its making 1000hp, just put a bigger pulley on it for now...

Kinda hard to tell on here. Ive heard a lot of rumors around town about my truck. Some people are saying my truck has 800+ and I've never say anything about hp when I'm at the meets. I need to find a 4x4 tcase and get it on a dyno

You know how it goes 'around town'. Take everything you hear and assume its a lie... I've heard multiple people deny they ever had races with my truck. Probably because its the easiest way to deny losing to a truck in a race with their 650hp cobras

Haha. Yea. I know how that is. There is a kid on Facebook trying to call out my truck. He clams to have a built turbo del sol with 450hp. White with pink rims. I've never seen him at the meets and refuses to meet.

Just like Roger said, when he ran his 11.x he was not making near the HP to the wheels as you claim you are making.. Ford L's made only about 375 at the crank and had a 0-60 ruffly in the same range and was only about 800 lbs lighter..
My 11.6's were on 42# injectors, with a stock fuel pump in the tank, and the Maggie frame mounted boost pump running. I think it's a 190 lph pump. Just for the sake of my own curiousity, I just now looked at a datalog. 105% IDC at 5900 rpm(at the shift). Oh, and a 3.354 second 0 to 60 mph.

Now don't get me wrong here, I'm not saying that my fuel system is adequate even for my little 5.3, let alone a 6.0 with a bigger blower. I just agree with Mangled that you are overthinking your fuel system.

That car actually moves out haha. You should race him

He probably refuses to meet cause you're a cop. Its obvious.

I'm not a cop. Lol. I even invited him when I went to the track and offered to pay his tech fees

When I had the 65lb injectors the were hitting 105% at 6k. But my fuel pump was maxed so that probably had a role in it
