8 rib upgrade/conversion = $1100 to do it "right". Just not in the budget now. Already have the 6 rib setup sitting in the garage... Might keep the 3.8" pulley on it for now... Lol No I won't

Belt slippage might keep those MLS gaskets in tact...

Your definitely going to need a return style fuel system with bigger lines(-8 feed -6 return) with twin 340s.

Listen to someone who has done it... Me! You'll be fine with the mls gasket, you will want to upgrade the alternator bracket to the newer version, also while your there get rid of the plastic power steering pulley and get a ls2 c6 pulley. I did that on a stock ls1 short block and ran mid tens

Thanks man, I planned to upgrade those things. The A&A instructions say to do so as well for the earlier Vettes.

When I went supercharged, I switched to a single 450 , return style . 11lbs boost , no problems. You have a very nice set up planned, why risk going lean?

I'm just trying to understand the Corvette fuel system better.

What makes you say twin 340's is too much fuel for the stock filter/regulator? Like what have you done to verify this?

A single 450 won't get the job done, in my case.

I was told by a few different people while building my car, including racetronix. This was with a single 450, never mind twin 340s. Send them an email, see what they say.

ECS has the best bolt on fuel setup for the Vette. I'd just go with that.

If you are wanting only 700-750 DJ HP you'll be perfectly fine with a single 450 pump on gas. 6-rib will give you a headache at that level but we've done it before with a D1SC on a C5Z. The car had an NA Futral F12 cam in it with some TFS215 heads. We put 110 race gas and a single nozzle meth kit on the car and it made 760hp on 13-14psi. We were pretty aggressive with timing to get that power on that combo but it was a runner and lived.
