Re: Evo X upgrades

Hey what if your feed line (or the return line for that matter) is kinked or clogged somewhere? I think you had mentioned this being a possibility a while ago, just re-bringing it up. Get the car up in the air and inspect those suckers.

That's where things get tricky. Inline pumps flow more since they have fuel pushed to them rather than having to waste energy sucking it. E85 also needs 30%+ more fuel.

I've done a lot of Internet searching this last week and opinions vary a great deal. The most solid data I've seen is a guy that did 730whp on pump with a 044 that replaced his in-tank. That's comparable to what I'm doing (except my fuel tank is a small surge tank).

730 * .70 = 511.

Shane's dyno is about 12-13% lower than a typical Dynojet.

511 * .88 = 450.

That's still less than I'm getting by a meaningful margin. The problem is that I don't want to get stuck with TWO 044's that are worthless to me. I wonder if anyone has an 044 that they could lend me for a couple days.
This was on pump, and in the tank as a replacement.
