Thanks to this thread I calculated my slip and it was extremely high due inpart to a 3.0 gear and 28" tire. So the rear is getting a 3.5 gear now and hopefully iy will perform a little better. If not then the converter goes back to get tightened up.

Brian, I'm getting ready to do up my fuel system and I'm looking at your post 1012 on pg 51 and it looks like you have the feed to the filter to a Y which goes to the back of the rails then goes to the regulator from the rails then the return goes to the tank.

Is that the preferred way? I have to get some an fittings either way, I just want to get everything at once and do it right.

On the last setup I had one feed to the passenger front, crossed over in the rear and the regulator was mounted on the rail, then went to the return.

This will only work if your t brake works off the 2-3 shift noid. If you put your gear selector in 2nd and press your t brake button and it shifts to 3rd while holding the button, then my method will work.

on high hp, running the rails in parallel is a must due to fuel volume.

-12 from tank to -12 100um filter. -12 from filter to pump. -10 from pump to 10um filter. on other side of filter, split into 2 -8 that run to each rail. -8 from each rail to the regulator. -10 from regulator to tank.

I've got -8 feed, that's all. I was going to run it the same way as you, just different sizes.

Well, I have 25 ft of -8 and have to buy the fittings either way. So I'm just going to do -8.

Where's everyone getting their AN fittings from?
