Fuel System Setup that a friend suggested??? He suggested that I forget about putting in the expensive 2x 255L walbros in the tank and just buy an after market sheetmetal 14 gallon tank for 400 bucks..it has a sump and is gravity fed, and then I would just buy a 255L or 340L inline pump...
Keep in mind that I want to support a 150 wetshot day and night??
Does this sound like a good way to go?

Re: Fuel System Setup that a friend suggested??? I think the main reason we all talk about the dual 255lph intank is compatabilty with the stock tank and fuel lines and eae of install. If you were switching to a metal tank...hell..Id get an Aeromotive 1000hp pump and regulator setup and be done with it.
Re: Fuel System Setup that a friend suggested??? The regulator in the tank is what REALLY sux on our cars. Once you get a fuel pressure gauge installed, you will see that. I would like to see what a stock fuel system would do with just an upgraded regulator like I use.

Re: Fuel System Setup that a friend suggested??? I priced it all out, and it comes to being cheaper that what I would of want to do with the twin walbros...but I would also have a new converter...
Its still a toss up on what I want to do...any more suggestions on to weather this is a good idea or not??
Thanks,
Bos

If you still want the car to be streetable, look good, go with the in-tank replacement from ARE - its like $250 and will support up to I believe 750hp.
If you go with a fuel cell, you need the cell ($$$$), Aeromotive Fuel pump ($289), Fuel Regulator ($129), Fuel Filter ($79), about a mile of braided hose and fittings (big $$$$$) and it will support 1000hp.
Your choice but the in-tank sounds less expensive, better looking and not to mention the noise from the fuel pump.
Good Luck.

Re: Fuel System Setup that a friend suggested??? I am using the 420L inline pump when I do this, I think that should pump plenty.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Re: Fuel System Setup that a friend suggested??? Just set up an independant nitrous system in the trunk of the car. get a 3 gallon fuel cell and an areomotive fuel pump and run that to the fuel solenoid. then you wont have to do al that other stuff and you can have it set up where the nitrous fuel pump is only on when the system is armed.

Re: Fuel System Setup that a friend suggested??? With a 3 gallon tank in the trunk, no more room for T-Tops.
The Sumped Tank costs $390
Aeromotive 1000hp Pump costs $260
Filters cost $80 (not sure on this one)
Remember Bos, you will NEVER! outgrow this fuel system, even WHEN you decide to go big cubes AND spray...
