Gonna pull the tranny and clutch......very bad vibration from about 30 to at least 90....cruising at 70mph....shifter shaking horribly.
Not afraid ...just being cautious. It will see the spray but only after everything else is ironed out.

Scott, we've had a lot of problems recently with the braided line that comes with these fuel systems. Fuel smell leeches through the braided hose, it has been so bad that we have had to replace all of the braided line with one that has an inner teflon line on several customers cars. We've also been seeing the braided lines inner rubber lining breaking down and clogging the fuel filters.
The cheapest and lightest method may be to go to alum fuel line rated at 250 psi, Russell sells it. Its approx $40.00 for a roll of it, you'd still need fittings and some flexible line at the ends of it. I've been thinking of going this way but I haven't tried it out yet. Bob

I have a teflon corrugated inner tube hose now (NASCAR surplus), and no more issues whatsover.
Lots of progress on Beast's FD today, interior is mostly done, chassis wiring done, battery relocated with new power cables done, engine bay resprayed, alternator mount done/installed, crank pulley done, and turbo location set. It will be dual 3" downpipes into a 5" that steps down to 4 in about 1.5 feet.
Zoom zoom...
edit: I felt that vibration in Darren's car; definitely not normal. Hopefully you get that sorted out, that car should be pretty nasty once it's sorted.

I would rather see a sumped aluminum tank and a Weldon pump, but can't really dead head that big of a pump I would imagine, have to do a return, and lines, and fittings, etc. Fuel smell would drive me nuts!!!!!!!

Yes, you'd have to run a return line for sure.
Constant problems with everything related to the transmission is why he is switching to an automatic. I'll bet it will 60 ft much faster when we're done. Bob

my favorite part is when the mustang is following him out of the lot and the guy pulls into a parking spot and then accuses the mustang dude of being all talk
