Default trying to design my fuel system

i had decided i want to go with the a1000 pump and i WAS goign to do -10 into the pump, then -10 to the rails and then through the aeromotive regulator and -6 back.


so after doing a little research i have a couple potential problems.

one i noticed all the fuel cells have -8 outlets?

two they only make aluminum hard line up to 1/2? i would need 5/8 to connect to -10 no?

three the aeromotive fuel rails only have a -8 connection.

so if everything is necked down to -8 shouldnt i just run all -8 stuff? but im worried i wont be able to feed my engine?

any thoughts?

it seems best to run the 10 up to the engine bay, have a y -10 in x 2 -8 out to the rails, then run to the regulator from each rail, and the return -8 to the tank. and thats what aeromotive recommends for flow, probably to help keep the pump cooler.

single -8 to the front is good for a solid amt. of hp.
mine goes in one rail and jumps to the other at the front.

That should be all the info you need OP. David's TA kills puppies on a regular basis with the hp/tq it makes.

I have a -8 feed from the back, parallel to the rails and parallel of the rails to a -6 return. I should be in the area of like 700fwhp.
