Default Question adding another Walbro to existing Racetronix pump

I currently have a single 255 Walbro with Racetronix hot wire and Im planning on leaving it as is.
I am adding another 255 pump and it will be using its own wire. I will have a fused power wire going to the battery. My question is, what do I do with the other wire?

Thanks

what other wire?? the current wire or the wire you are adding??? just stick it on the main power post of the fuse box setup (under the red plastic cover)

pretty sure this is what I need to do. I got a new wire with the new pump. If im understanding this right, Im going to cut the connector off at the one end ( not the end that plugs into the fuel pump itself) then take the negative wire and ground it and take the positive wire and run it to a new relay and then build what is shown here in the diagram and the new pump should be good to go.

I apologize. Quite often im so busy with everything i use my cellphone to call customers back. I of course have to block my number, so itll come up as unknown, blocked, unavailable etc. Then when theh dont answer i leave a message. But most of the time, i cannot because their vm is either full or not set up. Not saying this about you personally just to give an idea.

Anyway, lets take a look here.
Youre using an inline pump or another in tank pump?
Are you trying to pass it through the existing bulkhead or? Thats just a generic diagram so hard to tell.

Also, first, what power are you looking to support and what application?.
