    4.8L Turbo going in 90 Silverado (fuel pump)

    I have a 90' Silverado that I am going to be swapping an 06' 4.8L into. My main concern is the fuel setup. I am going to be going turbo and fuel injected. Just looking what other people have used for a fuel setup? Thanks

    I'm putting together a turbo for mine too. I'm going to be using Siemens deka 80# injectors and a walbro 430 pump through the stock lines. I guess it all depends on the power goals as to what you'll end up needing. I'm going to watching your build so keep us posted.

    Sounds like a strong setup you have going. I know the 80# will work good because my buddy had a 4.8 with a cam and on3 78mm in a Camaro and it ran strong.

    I'm not trying to run 10's or anything but would like about 450-500hp if possible.

    That's my goal as well. 500whp would make me very happy. Going to run the On3 76mm as well. Should be here Tuesday.

    50-60 lb injectors should be fine and a walbro 400 will plenty for your power goal. i PERSONALLY prefer dual pumps as a just in case one fails that it wont lean the motor out too much under boost but a lot of guys here run singles. make sure filter is new or clean also.
    Like Tumbler in "Gone in 60" I'll drive anything with wheels or without

    How are you running your lines to your fuel rail from the tank?
