Ok here is the deal I am doing an all new fuel system for my car I ordered one of Nasty's custom fuel tanks and my question is this, for about a year I will be running an all motor HKE 403 with all of the bells and whistles and then I will be swapping out the motor to do a large displacement turbo motor, if I run a Magnafuel 4303 pump or Fuelabs big pump will I have any issues with the fuel system being overkill on the NA setup?I tried a search but I was unable to find anything of this nature on here. I also wanted to know how I should run this setup I was thinking of doing a single -8 feed into a Y at each rail then a Y into a regulator then a -6 retun, would this be a good setup, or should I run a -8feed into one rail then crossover to the other rail and then mount the FRP at the back of that rail and then the return? I would appreciate the pros and cons of each setup and which would ultimately be the best setup to run, sorry for the long post and TIA.

Check out the Wedon pumps. I'm going to be ordering a DB2025-A from them along with the fuel pump controller (slows down the pump at idle, keeps it quiet, longer lasting, less heating of fuel, etc....) and a regulator. In addition, this particular pump will run e85 no problem...which will be nice when it becomes a bit more available in my area. Kinda expensive for all of it ($1000 +)...but it'll do whatever you want, and is extremely reliable.
Just my $.02
