Default Standard cossie fuel pumps how much boost can they handle

As above i have a 2wd saph running about 17 psi holding 15 with msd l8 chip it goes not bad could do with a set up but just wondering if whats the limmits of a standard pump & on all my other stage 3 cars i run about 24 psi holding about 22 its only on a t3 tho whats your opinions ? its a proper mint car & not want to go putting t34's etc on it i just think its a bit slow for stage 3 & not very responsive i will check it for air leaks also idle control valve is disconnected.

A good condition standard fuel pump will handle 350hp so you're fine I think.

Sounds like you need to strip down the ISCV and clean it properly

std pump is good for 400bhp as long as the voltage is there. I only changed mine to an 044 to be on the safe side.

got an 044 to go on the saf along with the fuel pump rewire kit

oh and congrats the baby mate
