I wouldn't worry too much about the metal tanks as long as you have the plastic tanks covered i would think you have 99% of the people covered. The 98 tank is a lot easier to make your own dual intank pump setup compared to the buckets that came in the later years I did my own dual pump install and it workd great although I thought your piece was extreemly nice and if I needed one yours would be first on the list.
JM-Nice wheels they look a lot like mine but with color lol!

Peter I am buying one of your twins of course but now not happy with my new killer clutch. I am thinking going auto and with my plans for 408 or 427 really can't see any 460 handling it. So how can I find out if a 480 will fit. I found a 480 for pretty cheap and think will proceed along that road. Autos do have some advantages. They spool up the turbo at the line really nice with a stall , they keep the boost up between shifts ,they are quiet and very street friendly in heavy traffic. So think its auto time for me.
Anyway have a 460 taking really big power in case the 480 absolutely won't work with the twins.

That I need to investigate.
Thanks,

They aren't a vendor here, so I won't post a link
Either way, I think a 4L80 is the way to go for almost worry free operation. It'll be exciting to hear whether or not they fit once the kits start shipping

Well got a phone call from head of textralia and he is going to give me something to try in my twin disc and hopefully that will make me a happy camper and then might stay six speed but a 480 might still be in my future at some point. So still be good to know if it would work.

...Geez, 113!!??

I think the main concern, at least for myself living in Houston with 100+ degree summers, is stop and go traffic on the freeways rather than full power blasts. One would be wise to upgrade his cooling system if his goal is to sustain high power with high ambient temps. A couple quick blasts won't make much difference if the cooling system is adequate for cruise and low road speed operation.

Thanks for the update, of course the next obvious question about the twin pump and fuel rail/supply system, is PRICE.
Will you guys work out a discount for those of us who are purchasing the first 50 TT kits from you guys?
No doubt it will be worth every penny for your msrp, but I love it when companies show their loyal customers how much they love us by giving us a price break.
Thanks,
Filbert

The twin fuel pumps system does not include fuel rails, fuel rails will be a future project.
Thanks,
