Yep, you'll be fine. That's the same pump we've been using. Haven't ran out of fuel yet.... <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Matt, What kind of exhaust are you running? I'm running the 4" FlowMaster (Mufflex), and there isn't room between the muffler and the fuel tank for the sump!

thoughts?

I've already opted out of the Dynomax i had before for the new sump.

Exhaust is still up in the air at this point. Either a single outlet on the right, something similar to the Loudmouth, or duals

I'd like to keep them over axle and out the back cause the TA's look like *** w/o any tips <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

At this point however, exhaust is not one of my top priorities

Yup, the Jeg's sump is braised (sic?) <img src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" border="0">

Why don't they tell you that **** in the ad <img src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" border="0">

I guess I'll melt the brass off of it and TIG it back together, then TIG it to the tank <img src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

It's all good. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

For fuel supply, I went with the Weldon 2025 pump, Weldon "Dial a Flow" pump controller, and a Weldon regulator. I'm running a -12 line to the pump suction, -10 line from the pump discharge to the engine compartment. The -10 will go to a Y-block, and I'll run a -8 line to each fuel rail. -8 lines off the fuel rails back through the regulator and then returning to the tank.. Thoughts?

I'm ditching the 4" Flowmaster muffler and I'll run a dynomax 4" bullet straight out the back on the passenger side, that should leave plenty of room for fuel system crap on the driver's side.

"it may not be cheap, but it sure costs alot"

Harlan....I actually ordered the JEGS sump. When my buddy started to weld with steel rods, the welds on the JEGS sump started to melt because they were braised with bronze or something. He ended up cutting the fittings from the sump and fabbing my sump from steel.

Thats what I did this past season Brady.

I bought a dynomax 4" ultraflow which actually does quiet the exhaust as opposed to a bullet. ANd it flows a LOT better than the slowmaster.

I have a sump on my tank too.

The muffler exits out the passenger side. It almost looks like an import exhaust... till you hear the car. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />
