What does the stock intaknk fuel pump rated at??

I need a high flow pump for my brothers car. Its an intank pump. He is running a supercharger. Holley makes an intank that flows 67gph (255lph). If this is alot more than the stock flow we'll get it. If not, are there any other copmpanies that make high flow intank pumps?

I'd like to know to. I'm gonna be putting turbos on my car and I'm using a carb and was wondering if the stock intank pump would be enough.

I'm not certain of the design flow of the system, but the minimum flow requirement for a stock fuel system and pump (as a go / no-go test) is one pint every 15 seconds, or 30 gallons/hour. In theory, that fuel flow should support in the area of 480 HP, and that is the minimum flow accecptable for a "good" system. In my exp;eriencee, a system with a good pump and clean filter will deliver at almost twice that flow, or nearer to 60 GPH. If you are expecting over 900 HP, you'd better shop for a different pump and plan on installing diffeerent lines.
