Fuel feed size
Hey guys,
What size fuel supply are you 700+ rwhp guys running? When I bought my ECS fuel kit, they said if I run a big in-tank pump, I will be good to 1000+ rwhp. My supply is 6an. I am not looking to make 1000000 rwhp, but I do want to tune for e85. How do you think my setup will work, well or not so well:
Thanks!

damn it....i knew you guys were going to say that!! LOL
I am wanting to "Y" the feed to the back of the fuel rails and do a return "Y" to the regulator. So, if I do a -8an feed to a -6an y to split, would that be ok? I think the return would be fine with the -6an.

I don't think I am going to touch my return side. I think that will be ok as it is (-6an).

The only reason I went from -8 to dual -6 feed is RSI's kit made it real easy to do so, and two -6 is more fuel than one -8.
My setup before was just how you described. We had a Y out of the tank into -8, then a Y to dual -6 for the rails. The rails Y to the regulator and then back to the tank with -6.

My return is a -6 and it works out well.

So you are using two fuel filters?

but that looks somewhat like what I am going to do. I have to figure out where/what to do with the regulator in my setup.
