Dual intank Walbro 340's
Sumped Tank
Large braided lines,
Custom dual feed rail off a Y-block
dual return into Y-block into boost referenced regulator into return line.

oops I forgot, you will need a Low Z box and big *** injectors (80+ # injectors)

Why would you sump the tank if you had intank pumps??

The point of the sump is to eliminate pump starvation from low level or fuel slosh. makes it easier on an external pump too. You can have the pump below the fuel level and not worry about pump prime.

I used to run a turbo setup, so my system is similar to Harlan's:

if one of these pumps can support 550rw on 14 volts then two of the suckers should be good to at least 800rwhp.

Either will work. The sumped tank/external pump combo is more work and a little noisier but it sure flows well.

The twin intank setup from ARE supports well over 800RWHP with the lines, rail upgraded as well etc.

Cheers,
Chris
