Default Fueling Upgrade

Seeing he mods I currently have in place, and keeping in mind that the mods I am doing are going to be used with the next engine setup, what would be the most logical upgrades to the fueling system?
I am not sure what pump Magnuson sends in their kit but was thinking that adding a KB Boostapump and 60lb injectors would be an appropriate next move.


Thoughts?

i would have to say instaling the walbro inline is a good upgrade to boost flow and pressure, to take it a step futher would have to be twin pumps in the tank.
not sure what your needs will be until after you install the 60's.
the inline may work, then again you may have to do the twins in the tank to feed the top end.

You can't put inline fuel pumps on a returnless fuel system


BAP, should help the magie pump feed 60's just fine I would think.

Yeah, thanks. The wet kit also takes fuel off the rails too.
Where can I find a bap at a decent price? PM me if not a sponsor, please

I'm using meth, sure but i dont want to have to fill up the resevoir every day, and although the price of gas is going upupupupupup, meth still cost more and it's a hellofa drive to the bulk seller.
I am fine with the fueling I have now, although I am sure it is near maxed out. I am building things up for the day when this little 5.3 goes byebye. I will hopefully have all the little things inplace so a bigger displacement or a more demanding engine will be near drop-in.
Does that make sense?

Yeah...because that's along the same lines as I'm thinking for my truck. Already have the 6.0 with 5 miles on it sitting on the stand.
