V8Killa huh? We can test that :)

Kidding, looks like this is going to be a sweet build. Best of luck!

I'd love to see that!!

I say run the pump at 45-50 base and see what happens.

The 450 from what I read is exactly the same as the 400. The only difference is they made everything sealed for e85 fuel.

Yeah the plate that came with the car said V8KLLR. So I figured the thread topic would fit well.

Thanks man you have 2 awesome cars

Looks like it does flow 5-10% more depending on pressure. Standard Walbro 400:

Yeah I know it said with a BAP it could support 900 hp or something like that. But that's cool that it flows more than the 400.

Yeah I think with this pump the BAP is really not needed but we will se. I know scheides uses one on his 400. Also came with the car so I didn't buy it. The line to the fpr is an not sure size and the return is an but not to the tank.

So you think I should just get a an an line back to the tank and leave the feed alone.

Thanks guys for the help already. I wanna really put the money where it's needed. So tgis is definitely helpful.

As far as power 600hp on Shanes dyno would be cool

No. I think you should leave all the stock lines in place. The bottleneck is at the top of the fuel filter (in your engine bay). That banjo bolt is the bottleneck. All I would do is use an aftermarket Feed Line (from the filter to fuel rail) that eliminates that banjo bolt. Then if you want some extra reassurance, you can replace the fuel filter with a higher flowing one, but that may not be neccessary. Also an after market FPR if you haven't already done so since you'll be moving a lot of fuel, it'll overrun the stocker at idle.

Running a line all the way to the tank may help a little, but I think it's not completely neccessary and that money/time/effort could be better applied elsewhere.

Since Jungy cut the feed and coupled it back together because he didn't run the Bosch, I'd either buy a new stock hose or run AN. One of the things I would've changed last winter if I kept it. Relying on alligator clamps for fuel hose isn't exactly ideal.

I already an aeromotive FPR, and -6an lines to from filter to rail/rail to fpr. So once i get the car up and see what Im dealing with an lines might be the cheapest thing to do. Im not starting a car with a cut in the fuel line period.

Thanks for the heads up.

If you already have an AFPR and upgraded feed, then I wouldn't touch a thing.

Even with the cut/ spliced alligator clamped line in the middle under my car? I at least wanna replace with a new oem line
