Converting to front mount fuel cell?
Converting to front mount fuel cell? I can't seem to find the answers I need from searching, but I think this will work. Please let me know if something is not right.
Right now I am running 2 255 intank pumps one kicks on at wot
car is on e85 375rwhp bracket race only
Can I just buy a fuel cell and take the 2 outlets and connect one Walbro GSL 392 inline pump to each with a prefilter on each then y them together and to a c5 filter then connect to the factory fuel rail. Then route the return back to the fuel cell?

If you are trying to save weight yes you can do that.
I would just put one big pump in the front of the car though if you are going to a fuel cell. You have the options of putting any pump you want on the car at that point, why not just put one good pump on, upgrade your rails and whatnot and have enough fuel system for the future. Do it once and not worry about it ever again. Overkill for now for sure at the 375 rw but if you decide to triple that, you won't have to buy anything.

There electronic pumps are not 2500 hp capable in this instance. They may support 2500 horsepower on gas, naturally aspirated and with a carb. But, you move to EFI fuel pressures and forced induction flow falls off significantly.

Verdad Gallardo Ok so it will do 2000+ on E85. And yes, to be correct EFI flow/pressure will be rated different than carb, and alcohol vs gas will be different as well. I am quite familiar with the fuel systems and requirements. In this instance for the OP the Magnafuel or Weldon pumps will be way more than he needs.
I personally use a 35GPM(yes gallons/ minute) Rage belt drive pump to support 2 sets of 550 pound PT injectors, and on Methanol with a F3. Got it handled

lol, I just went back and read the original post. This dude is talking about 375 horsepower and we're over here talking about 2000 horsepower this and 2500 horsepower that............I think we fell off the train.
