Seriously, this is the stupidest shit ever. Walbro 255 and RC 440s has made 340 before. 340, thats not a type-o. So 440s will be perfect for 240whp.
Nobody said they won't supply that.
Nobody said the stocker won't hold that.
But, what HP level did you quit trying to get more at?

And, so you're aware: According to the RC site, You'd need 100 lbs of fuel pressure @ boost (edit: for reference: with the 440cc injectors mentioned above) to support 340 hp.....
Can it be done? YES! Is it a good idea???????

Not when there's very little difference in the price of a set of injectors that will provide enough fuel for the application at stock pressures.

I agree with Grease Monkey. He's best off making sure he has good parts, and those needed to tune it, before he spends the money elsewhere. But, for someone who stated he likes "spirited" driving, I can relate. And he'll get used to it, and then want more.....

So, at what point is it better to go ahead and get things right now, versus going and re-building it with the right stuff later?
