    Looks interesting, what is your fuel system going to consist of? I ask because those darn external pumps get real hot in the summer when driven a long time. Are you going to run something to slow down the pump when not in boost? Can't wait to see your whipple project finished.

    Aeromotive Pro Series pump with the pump controller for the street and a fuel cooler on the return side.

    I am wondering if the pump can supply enough fuel while always stepped down from the controller. Got a good deal on that pump with the controller or we probably would have went with the eliminator.

    And would like to run it on E85 too. Do you know how much HP you make on the E85?

    Wiring the controller would be a good idea, you can still leave the pump run full time with the controller installed, if the pump and fuel gets hot you can just set it to come on above a certain rpm. I've used one in the past and its easy to use and works well.

    My motor is stock so I am running the stock 9 psi with 18 degrees of timing, although the runs had about 130 degree IATs and was pulling 4 degrees out, so 14 degrees toatal. It made 433 hp and 440 torque. There is so much motor in it, but it will have to do until I get a better bottom end. Then it will be maxed out on whatever the triligy inlet will let in.

    Forgot to mention, the converter is unlocked at wide open throttle so I am loosing a little from slippage but I made him do it that way because it is easier on all the parts of the drive train when there is a little slip. The tuner said it probably is loosing 20 horse with the converter unlocked.

    I've got dual walbro gss340s in tank with dash 10 all the way to the fore precision fuel rails that I had to modify a little to fit the COT then to 80 lbs injectors with an aeromotive regulator. Rutrn is the stock fuel supply. Also, if I would need anymore pump the return line would need to be increased in size. I run a 40 amp relay to 10 gauge wire to the pumps. The fuel gets pretty hot in the summer with all the returned fuel, but the pumps are holding up well.

    No, but I know you should really be able to crank up the boost. Now if Sherm can keep cutting those 0.0 lights you guys are going to be tough.

    Fuel should be a problem anymore!

    Not what Sherm thinks. He's heard one with the car not running. Its prolly not bad with the car running. We will see. Its all about compromise I guess.

    I'm glad to hear you had good dealings with them. You hear all kinds of crap on the internetz.

    Few more pics in the car. I'll get some more when its back on the ground and the pump mounted.

    Edit: Oh yeah and if anyone decides to drop their tank make sure you buy the new studs from the dealer. It IS doable without them but a pain. I sold a ton of them when I worked at the dealer, now I know why.

    Looks real good, those pictures thought the bungs is neat. The tank looks like it will still be invisible to those from behind. You got me all fired up to tinker on my vehicles when the weather gets a bit better.

    This is a VERY good and timely (at least for me) thread.

    For more of a street car I would suggest going 3.5" down from the bottom of the tank. I went with 4.5" here to get more volume in the sump. I don't think the 4.5" is too low though as its not to far from the center of the tire. Only thing you would really have to worry about is a big animal or a tire tread going under the car. Although you could weld a deflector to the axle if you want to. Also a lowered car may have trouble with the 4.5" sump.

    That is a really cool way of getting that sump done, nice job!

    Also a big +1 on the fuel tank strap studs, ones from the dealer are cheap and so much less hassle!
