Running Fuel Injection? Get in here!
Okay this is for those running an EFI setup weither an LS-1, RamJet or otherwise. There's been alot of threads about fuel lines and I came across an interesting article recently:
http://www.carcraft.com/howto/56398/index2.html
So my question is what line setup are you running? And if it is an issue, where could I obtain some 3/8" or 1/2" pre-bent return lines and is anyone interested in buying a stainless steel stock return line
The same article solved the fuel pump problem by running an external fuel pump and having a baffled sump welded into their tank. Anyone know how much it would cost on our tanks and where to get this done?
Lastly in case I attracted some RamJet guys, has anyone supercharged it before? I assumed you need a new computer ($$). Interested in this as a future project...

I ran a new 3/8" aluminum hardline from the external pump and regulator, along the frame, to the fuel rail. No problems feeding my cammed LS1 yet. I have some pics of my fuel system on my website. I used the '99+ Corvette filter/regulator (the silver canister) that has a return line going from it back to the stock return location on my stock tank. I don't think I've had fuel starvation problems with the stock fuel pickup but I always keep more than 1/4 tank just to make sure it doens't suck air.

But what size return line are you running? 3/8"? And I'm also interested in those multiple pickup deals from holly...Bry
