Default new use for my alky kit--not tech related

I was leaving to go to the track and noticed as I pulled out of the driveway that I had 10psi of fuel pressure. I thought it had vapor locked or something as I had just changed the fuel pump hoses to some nice ones so it couldnt be that. At 10 psi it would barely idle in park and no way it was gonna back up the slightly inclined street and up my driveway. I started hitting the test button on my SMC alky kit and the alky provided enuff fuel to power the motor to get me back into the driveway It turns out that one of the fuel pumps had a crack in the plastic part at the top of the pump and was causing me to lose most of my FP.
So for just a minute I had a ls1 alky motor!!!

It's fixed...gotta getnewrails/regulator or convert the 2ndpump to a hobbs/relay. With both pumps running all the time it overpowers the regulator and I get 73psi all the time
