So after talking with a Tech over at Aeromotive, he wanted me to run twin eliminators or a single Pro. Looking into the cost of that setup to include either fuel cell jazz or sump my factory setup, I opt'ed for tossing one more 450 in the loop & keep my factory setup in place. He also didn't like the -8 at this point in my build as a feed line.

Not 100% how i'm going to configure the basket inside the tank, but the basic will be two walbro's Y inside the tank (currently setup), the last walbro will then Y in out of the tank around the hat. The feed line will be a -10, splitting to -8's to feed the rails. My current regulator is limited at a -6 return, so i'm going to try and leave this second 450 walbro on the same Hobb switch the other Walbro is on and have them only on under boost 3-5psi. If i'm dealing with to large of a pressure surge later, I will have to switch to a -8 return style regulator and use my old -8 line as the new return.

Justing waiting on the -10 25 Micron fuel filter to come in. God speed to red!

You are going to need bigger injectors as well to really use that third pump!

I'd like to Run in their True street/ 30 mile cruise. Havent decide to run the 10 second field or 9 second. Last year a 9.5x avg won the 9 second class, the 10 second class was pretty damn tight.

Here are the rules.

Same rules as it was from 2013 LSfest, as it kind of reads it's your **** so know if it's safe.

The part I don't like is that part about 9.99 or faster. That may start kicking in now.

" A Valid NHRA competition license is mandatory for cars running 9.99 or quicker, at an NHRA Member Track. NHRA/IHRA competition license mandatory at an IHRA Member Track."

Then again I have a truck, not a race car.

I'm amazed they dont mention a roll cage... i basically got kicked out of New England Dragway when I ran 11.43. They were lenient only because it was the last night of the season.

That's vague depending how you look at it, it does say should meet Nhra requirements , which 11.49 requires a 5 pt roll bar

That moment when you drop the tank and find what looks like a piece of the 4.greats piston... The motor finally got to go 9s. Lmao.
