Default Fuel system questions, turbo !

I am about to start the build process of my own turbo kit for my 98 Z.
I want to put together a system that is capable of 9 second times but will be limited to low 10's now .

what injector size is required for a 76 turbo ?
will a twin pump set up from Lonnies do the job ?
will stock lines do it also? fuel rails

I have a new aeromotive a1000 pump and boost referencing regulator and aeromotive filter left over from another project . I would assume that one of these pumps would not be sufficent?

It seems the Dual intank setups are the way to go ?
Any help would be great . Thanks

This is for the 98 , its my daily driver and I take my kids to and from school in this . I want to run 9.99 and be able to still do this . Car seats and all . Just to prove a point to some people I know and do it for 70k less than the top dog in town (at least he thinks ) LOL !

As for the 69 , I am not sure . Might adapt the Harrop to the L92 heads anD do another cam , Brett Bauer is working on something for with this .

Any fuel help for this 98 ?
Have you seen the 69?

I've never done a turbo on a 4th gen with a stock type fuel system. I built a TA with a sumped stock steel tank with -10 and -8 AN lines, an A1000 and billet fuel rails with a return.

I saw your 69 when youwere driving through the parking lot in Orlando's Power Tour stop, but you were leaving and I never got to check it out close and BS with you. My friends said it is an awesome machine.

No but we can addapt fittings to add the line. There is no need to add that big of line with just the 2 pumps. -6 will easily feed over 800rwhp

I was thinking of putting a fitting in my tank like EPP did on one of there cars and run my aeromotve pump, filter and use my regulator up front.
I would run the supply to the side port on the reg, then on the other side of the reg feed one rail. loop them at the front, plug the back side of one. The return would then just go from the bottom of the reg back to the tank . I like to have the reg before the rails .

What do you think .
I am trying to do this cheap and use my parts I have just sitting on the shelf.

Nate what do you think of this.

I like that setup you're talking about, but I'd go with -8 on the feed if you're trying to run 9s in a full weight car.

Fitting in the bottom of tank is not the best or safest route but it works. Run as big of line as possible to the first filter and pump(-12) then you should be good with -8 from there. Run your reg. after the rails you will get presssure drop at the rails the regulator will not see.
