It is a common swap for a lsx s10 but i wouldnt try it with forced induction, there is no way to raise fuel pressure with boost so your horsepower ceiling will be really low.

Since when was boost reference mandatory... I cant speak for hp limits because I don't know but it will work just fine.
Its been years but I remember doing something like 550 whp or so through one without issues.

What are you going to do with that Russell part that has the 2 factory looking line adapters on it? I have also wondered about using this for boosted applications. I think just for peace of mind though, I am going to just get an adjustable regulator.

Ive used the C5 filter/reg under boost and it did work, but wasnt ideal. Its supposed to be a fixed 58psi, but would actually fluctuate ~50-60. Not a big deal for most NA cars, but if your fuel system is on the edge, it can risk going lean at the wrong times. An external regulator like the aeromotive above is much safer
Mighty, you might want to rethink the 340 pump in your system. They overheat with extended use (street) and shut down. For a racecar, it wont see enough run time to matter, but be aware they support about as much as a walbro which wont shut down

Yikes! Thanks for the heads up. Better sell the 340 and get a second racetronix 255lph. I have a boost sensitive switch that was going to fire the second pump under 'x' boost.

heres how i did mine. i used a bulkhead fitting with some 3/8" hardline and a couple orings between the pump outlet and the tube.
I dont really trust the soft line stuff either.
