envyxr Member 201 Member For: 16y 1m 12d Gender: Male Location: sunshine coast Posted 20/08/13 08:58 PM Share Posted 20/08/13 08:58 PM So a quick question... If putting on a surge take and an 044 plazmaman fuel kit do I also need to upgrade the factory in tank pump to feed it? I am chasing 500 rwhp.
