406 Super Ram- fuel pump

I am going to start my car tomorrow after dropping in the new engine.. My question is will my stock fuel pump support this setup or should I replace the fuel pump after breaking in the cam. I hoping the stock pump will cover it but I am not so sure.. Here's the Setup.........


Chevy 406
Comp XE 284 cam
Brodix 200Ik heads
Super Ram Intake
30LB injectors

Should make around 500 FWHP

The stock pump will not keep up.

Yeah, you'll need to drop the fuel tank and install a better pump. We use ones made for the Syclone/Typhoon/Grand National.

The stock pump might keep up at idle but it wont handle it under load. You'll go lean.
