fuel pump capability?

currently swapping in a 355 w/ a 750 holley in place of a 305 TBI, and am using the stock TBI in-tank fuel pump with a regulator.

Is the stock TBI fuel pump able to support the 355ci(about 400-450hp) and a wet nitrous kit?

thanks.

Yes it's more than able (with a carb), just get ahold of a good adjustable regulator....

Thanks, I thought so but just wanted a second opinion.

I have an Aeromotive regulator.

No it's not able to keep up, in fact I doubt it'll keep up with the engine alone at WOT at the top of third gear. Then you want to add nitrous too....not a chance.
