Default Opinions- How does my fuel system setup look?

Looking for opinions of my fuel system setup I plan to run.

Running Re-turnless setup.

Stock 5.3L
LS6 Intake
FAST Fuel Rails
Vette Fuel Filter/Regulator
Racetronix Sending unit with Walbro pump

Far as the vent line goes I think I will just run it off to somewhere and add a filter on end of the hose and be done with it. Wont be using factory charcoal canister.



Got a few things in the mail today, 3/8in stainless fuel line for the feed with two -8AN weld on fittings.

Any fuel line bending tool you guys recommend that wont break the bank?

Here is how I have the intake setup.

Driver Side

Rear Block off plug with O-Ring, Front -8AN to -8AN fitting with -8AN 90 degree fitting.



Block off



-8AN to -8AN


90 Degree -8AN fitting for front cross over hose
Should I place a O-Ring between the 90degree fitting or not necessary?



Passenger Side

Front -8AN to -8AN then -8AN 90 degree fitting for front crossover


Rear -8AN to -8AN then -8AN 45 degree fitting for hose from new bent fuel line to fuel rails.

lol, bro in ur pic...where is the pump? lol Assumingly the pump is in da tank, lol, from the looks of your diagram it looks almost like I have mine drawn out. But i was using return line since I was using a truck intake but I said fck it, might as well grab a car intake so I dont think I would need a return line now.

-8 is way over kill for that setup. -6 will flow more than the C5 filter/regulator can handle. We have an exact kit for a setup like this includes everything needed to hook it all up. Or give me a call I can help you get it sorted with just what you need.

Well unless there would be serious issues with the -8AN then I will just keep it all. I already ordered and have all the parts/fittings here already.
