if building custom canisters is too much of a headache...
My recomendation would be to run a stock chevt plastic canister in BOTH tanks, and put a 255 in EACH tank.
Then do the slosh line and regulator, etc as described before.
My second word of advice is to notice the voltage drop across the chevy wiring... nearly 2 volts is lost from the alternator and battery... to the tip of the wire feeding the fuel pumps?!?!?!
We solved this by running a heavy guage wire from the fuse box back to the pumps instead of the little christmas light wire chevy used. This gained us 1 volt....
Then we bypassed the stock fuse and fuse box all together, and tapped into the fuel relay, and added a larger in line fuse on our heavy wire, that still pops at 30 amps. This solved the problem. No more 2 volts lost.
VOLTAGE AND CLEAN POWER ARE THE KEY TO FUEL PUMP PERFORMANCE AND LIFE.
an orange lingenfelter vette MELTED the stock fuel pump wiring with warbro 255's, and it didnt even have a boostapump on it!!!.... thats how small and tempermental these wires are... and the consiquence of one of them breaking or shorting is a blown up motor from running lean if you decide to run multiple pumps!!
Its not hard to find the motivation to replace this wire.

I know this is an old post, but I wondered what ever happened with this system?
Also, the power supply issue is the same issue we run into in the Buick T-Type world. One of the fixes is to run a separate power supply setup to the pumps. I was wondering if the Racetronix kit which has additional wiring would suffice.
I guess I am wondering if combining the Kyosan pumps with the Racetronix wiring kit would get you where you needed to be.
