Probally around 1000 hp total using power adders or on straight motor, but I don't really know as all of my junk makes less than that and I use a single # 10 to my 300 GPH pump, which is suppose to be good to 900 hp two number eights with the right system should be good to 1000HP + I would think, maybe not Try calling a couple of the companys that make good fuel system parts and ask them Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

Runs 9.50's at 144 mph and 6.0's in the 1/8 mile. Pulls hard all the way through the quarter. Everyone will tell you you need more pump, but this seems to work... B-1 Ken used to do the same with a single holley Blue pump...

When bob Glideen won that tital that was the only choice, no black pumps, no decent Mallory or any other brands of electric fuel pumps, if I remember correctly Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

I run two #8 lines out of the cell to a Y-block, short pipe (.4" ID) to my fuel pump. Then 1/2" aluminum line up front to the regulator. Then two #8 lines from the regulator to the carb (over kill IMO). Times in the sig. 1993 Daytona, 5.50 at 130mph (1/8) 1.19 sixty ft (PG). Link to 572 B1 - Part 1
