What power and fuel?

interested in what people are using & where there putting it
but what ever you got & your happy with it
i was going to use 040 bosch in tank to custom serge above diff with 044 hanging off that with std 5/16 lines to reg then 3/8 to rails, return to serge,with serge overflow to main tank.sounds easy a.

As above, totally depends on power and fuel. Built mine to supply constant 1,000hp of E85. Currently only making 650ish but wanted to do it once. I am running a Weldon DB2015 main fuel pump, duel Pierburg lift pumps, have a custom Bain Racing drop tank, with integrated internal 3L (nothing in boot) 5/8″ supply, 1/2″ return lines.

Posts: 5 777Not sure about a custom surge above the diff, I had a good look at that and couldn’t see a place to fit it and still work properly (IRS though). It would end up being long and flat which is sort of opposite what you want. My engineer wasn’t thrilled about the idea either but that may not be an issue. I reckon the single one piece custom fuel tank is the perfect solution but of course costs about $1500.

A single Intake walbro will meet your needs.
However
If surge is the go. Stock in tank pump to surge. Single 044 to rails, factory Bosch reg. Return to surge. Surge overflow to main tank. All stock fuel lines. Done.

Posts: 5 777400rwhp, is about 530ish fwHP through a stalled auto That’s getting up there, personally I wouldn’t run a car making that without the peace of mind of a surge.
Surge is only there to stop fuel surge.
Nothing power related
walbro do a 430lph version of the gss342

Posts: 5 777But fuel starvation matters a crap load more if you are pulling 7k @ 530hp, and odds on you are going to be up in the region where the in tank swirl pot isn’t gonna cut the mustard. Always surprises me how someone may spend $20+k on an engine but won’t spend a few hundred more on a fuel system to match.
Dont run the tank below 1/4 and you will be right. But it’s one of those things where it comes down to personal preference.

Posts: 5 777Fair call, I just wouldn’t do it. Leaning it out is something you really dont want to be doing, but yep more than one way to skin a cat
serge for sure,i like to turn it inside out occasionally ,cheap insurance
whats the diameter on the walbro
bosch 040 is 60mm
who else,using what
60L Fuel Cell, Aeromotive Tsunami Lift pump to an 8L Surge Tank, twin Walbro 460’s with Aeromotive pump controllers -8 feed, -6 return Aeromotive boost referenced A1000 reg, both tanks filled with foam.
Just get a aftermarket industries serge tank
iv got a sp1200 with 2 walbro 460 pumps and I carnt explane how good it is, puts all competition to shame
iv had several fuel systems, and all but 1 have all had one major thing in common
they are hideously loud
my current sp1200 fuel system is near silent, I know my fuel pumps have primed because I can hear it squishing through the regulator

Posts: 5 777^ beautiful workmanship, that pump will actually flow around 1,500hp, nothing like a bit of overkill though
No it wont, thats what julian explained the other day, what the holleys advertise and what they actually can do in terms of big numbers like that are completely different, I wouldnt even trust that pump with 1000hp on an EFI blown setup. Carby is different, but when we spoke on the other day on the phone he was explaining fuel consumption, psi, fuel line sizes etc These pumps are rated to flow 200gph but its more like half of that for my kind of setup. He has all the data to back up his claims so i will back him 100%
