Suggestions on fuel system without sumping tank for 600rwhp

**Z's Cobra** · 11-05-2003, 10:30 AM

I will be making about 600rwhp on my new 347 blown motor. This will be driven on the street alot and I don't like the idea of keeping a sumped tank 1/2 full all the time since I would be spending alot of time at the gas station filling up. What suggestions do you guys have? I'll be using aeromotive rails, regulator, y-block and 8l braided line throughout so I mainly need internal and external pump recommendations. I'm also considering the boost-a-pump. Right now I have the high output walbro 255 intank pump and the ati supplied external inline pump.

Thanks in advance.

If you're using -8 lines. Just use an intank pickup and an external pump.

I also have an aeromotive 1000 pump, so I can run the intank pick-up with the aero 1000 and be done with it?

That's exactly what I would do. In fact, thats what I did:D .

Yes you can do that...just don't race with less than a 1/4 tank of gas. I run a cartech pickup with dual walbro inlines.

Cool, thanks guys for the info.

Brian, I like troy's setup too. I wouldn't use an intank pump with that big of an inline. I would just use a cartech or granetelli intank pickup and the inline.

i wouldnt run the A1000 with a intank P/U, im doing it and the pump doesnt like it too much, once its been running for awhile it takes 2-3 key cycles to prime the pump before it build enough pressure to start the car, the A1000 wasnt designed to PULL up out of the tank, if you wanna use a P/U run what Troy runs, the dual 255 inlines. im going with this setup soon;)

Brian, I use to run the intank pick up and I always raced it with 1/4 tank. I never had any issues. Actaully my car started fine all the time. I never had to prime it. Good luck maybe ? Seeing how you already have the A1000 pump, use it. If it goes bad, buy a Weldon 2005 street series pump and be done. I believe the Weldon 2005 pump is the replacement for the A1000. Can you guys confirm this ?
