    Anyone experienced with the 2007 Fuel system in a Peterbilt that has a factory 625hp C-15 caterpillar that has had a healthy physical to put it at roughly 700hp. Is my fuel pump and filter assembly going to give enough flow and not starve the injectors for optimal efficiency. If any suggestions or upgrades please let me know what everyone is happy with.

    plenty of fuel for even more than 700 hp, I know a few over 1000 hp with stock fuel system and never missed a beat.

    Ok thank you for the response. I just did not want to starve it, i hear that is hard on injectors, and I have recently replaced all those, and don't want to do that again anytime soon. $$$

    this coming from the guy who replace everything on my fuel delivery system, the only thing I didn't change on my 1LW was the feed hose from the secondary fuel filter head to the front of the head, witch now serves a the return line, since the feed hose is now going to the back of the head and twice the original size, but if there is a benefit I haven't noticed it, but I feel good and learned a lot while researching the matter.

    Sorry to hijack this post. In need of help, 06 acert, set up in somewhat cold weather over weekend. When I left on Tuesday, it lacked power and restriction gauge is actually showing low. .5 at idle when it usually is at about 3. Thanks! Fuel pressure is good. 80 at idle 110 at 1600.
