Post pics if you've got them.

Where can I buy a nice Hobbs switch?

Did you just Y the two pump feed lines together and connect it to the factory fuel lines?

Thank you. Just got that from the fueling forum.

I think I'm all set to make my dual pump kit to support my meager 600rwhp (for starters).

I followed Mighty Mouse's thread when I did mine. I used evap line as the return, plugged the T-block that returned to the tank then cut and splice the evap and old return line together right by the block.

Just curious why people run a hobbs switch? At the rate my boost comes on I would never rely on a pump to turn on in time and have pressure in time. Seems risky to me.

Heres my old dual setup. Not the optimal Y-block... but it worked.





I needed more (E85) so I put 3 Walbros in. The special 3-1 block I made myself out of a 1/2 NPT female plug/cap. Same could be done if you only run 2 pumps.
