Default How many ppl using Twin Walbro's intank?

Been researching fuel pumps, desire around 700rwhp, maybe a little more now n then. I already have one intank walbro, so thought maybe better to just add another on, and a bulkhead on the fuel module to hook up a "Y" from both lines into one -8 Al fuel line. Anyone see issues like this, or have a suggestion plz post it up.

were the pumps maxed out or no? Did you Y them in the tank, or drill an extra bulkhead and Y post tank? I need to search, think it was MM who had pics of dual Walbro's.

i honestly dunno how it was setup cuz speed inc built the car and then soon after i got it back i wrecked my 99Z and broke my back so i never really got to look the car over really well but i do believe the pumps were getting close to maxing but not entirely sure and im dumb as a rock beyond doing simple bolt-ons and matience. Im still a learning newbie at the more technical stuff but i think speed inc posted some of the details on the old ysi setup so if you search about 5-6months back in the FI section you should find it, think the title was "725rwhp w/ stock pcm" by speedinc webmaster or something like that.

backs still broke but i got another doc appt on the 25th of this month to see if i can get surgery. I had entered a sweeping a turn at 110mph on bogarts skinnies in a 99Z ( same road ive always gone fast on so i didnt think anything bout it) and the drivers side rim broke in half, the car dropped down on the left and i skidded across the road a flew off and down a 20ft drop and ran over a bunch of trees. crushed and fractured my 12th vertabre but that was back in oct of last year so im gettin round better but i really wanna get it fixed
But anyway, sorry i couldnt be of more help!

I had my Y custom made. 2 stainless 3/8" lines into a 1/2" line, then up to the 8 AN bulkhead. I should have taken pictures because it was a slick piece (cost me $75.00 to have made). I feel confident that this setup will easily handle your goal and the bonus is it is as quiet as stock.

i got dual 340s with the second pump activated (at 4psi)by a hobbs pressure switch you can get at napa. They have been good to 700rwhp so far thru stock feed line..97 corvette rails/regulator. I made the "y" with some brass tees from a hydraulic hose place
