Stop making highway pulls and save the gas money to at least get the pumps in so you don't knock a piston out of it from a lean fit

And I still need some more materials and buy another stock pump that I can modify with the high flow pumps so I can pull the old pump out and drop in the modified pump.

I ordered a used fuel pump and should be receiving it on Thursday and Cory is sending me his fuel rail so I can quickly modify it to run my regulator and be that much closer to having the fuel system finished.

Are the stock fuel lines going to bottle neck those 2 hd pumps even with the regulator and how about upgrading the wiring for the extra amps they use?

No a single -6 line is plenty for both pumps to go into. I have my wiring diagram ready. With multiple relays, the pumps will see full battery power using the stock pump wiring as a switch.

I'm not going to be using the stock fuel lines when I swap out the pump. A -6 feed will be used which is a tad larger than the stock hard line. It's plenty for 700-800 hp. I'll be running a -8 return as well so there will be no restriction issues.

05_quick4door · 01-24-2013, 09:55 AM

You sure it is? Isnt the stock line 3/8?

05_quick4door · 01-24-2013, 10:03 AM

Also alittle confused why you would run a larger return than feed

The -6 line that I looked at had a larger I.D. Than the stock hard line.

Just like with a turbo, you don't want restriction on the return. The fuel pressure regulator is most accurate when the return line doesn't create a restriction. You only want pressure on one side of the diaphragm.

Broke a vibrant v-band clamp bolt... Pure junk! Luckily my buddy has one that's much better quality that I'm going to buy from him today so exhaust vids are a possibility today.

just updated with more pics. I just have the exhaust turned down before the axle for now until I get more aluminum tubing. I also added pics of a modified '04-'05 fuel rail to run -6 AN lines. The twin fuel pumps are ready to be plumbed and wired.

olds88 · 01-27-2013, 06:45 PM

good to hear mike what else you got planed for the truck after this ?

emaxxer · 01-27-2013, 06:51 PM

finish the fuel system with AN lines, finish the exhaust tail pipe, tune, and tires.

olds88 · 01-27-2013, 06:56 PM

or i should say after all that i mean

I don't plan long term with this truck because I might change my mind.
