Hey guys wondering who has done there fuel system install themselves, either stage one type setup OR Fore type setup. Just curious how it worked out for you. Any issues with your tune afterwards? pros and cons?
Ive done several fuel systems myself. Stick with the Fore setup, its well made and well thought out. You will have the least amount of problems with it and it will support big power.
They are all pains in the ***. Done a few. Can be tricky, and easy to mess stuff up. Take your time and test as much stuff as you can before reassembly.
Tune issues? Shouldn't effect tune at all unless you are tuned with falling fuel pressure taken into account, in which case the new system will just make it run rich.
Oring pinched, cut, not sealing. Leaks. Fuel level floats hung up on lines, plugged check valves, pump wiring not correct. Multimeter, battery to drive the pumps, etc. Can test a lot of that stuff outside the car if you want.

Broken plastic lines were my problem.
Then breaking them again trying to muscle the crossover tube in.

had an oring pinch and fuel leaked everywhere then someone overtightened the tank lid and the screw punched a hole in my tank causing me to have to buy a new tank pls b careful
I hate the plastic lines inside. I didn't want to remove the back end drivetrain, so I decided to redesign the way the lines go. I removed the plastic lines from inside the stainless hose and installed bulkhead fittings on the flat area around the factory fuel hats. Inside the tanks, I converted the plastic lines to AN using barbed fittings. If you heat them up carefully, they get soft enough to slide the barbed fittings into and once they cool, they're stuck. I ran lines outside the stainless crossover, leaving some slack that allows me to drop one tank without disconnecting anything. Removing the lines from the top of that tank, gives the slack back so that the other tank can be removed. I am considering doing this conversion on every car that I have to drop both tanks on.
I've got pics but I'll need to find time to dig them up and post them.

I shaved the factory seams down smooth before drilling the tanks. This allowed me to put the bulk head fittings where I wanted. The driver tank has a pair of Walbro 450's in it. No reason you can't do 3. I ran a Teflon plug into the tank specifically designed for installing into fuel tanks and maintaining a seal. They're expensive but I've found no better alternative so far. Cheaper, but not better. I have 4-10ga teflon coated wires in the plug so it's certainly enough to run 3 pumps.
