Check out post 96 on thus thread. It is the small bucket and that is how my 044 sticks out the bottom of my bucket also. I think the set up in post 96 will give you enough fuel.

Do it Andy! Cut the bottom of bucket off and run dual walbro 450's so you can run E85

If you cut out the bottom you better be sure you keep at least a quarter tank of gas at all times. If the pumps inlet becomes uncovered even for a second you will run lean and bad things will happen. Pretty sure that was a big contributor to me hurting my 410.

You need 2 of these. Or at least walbro 400's if your not planning on E85.

I'm not going to run e85. It's getting harder and harder to find and I don't think there is a station in minot that has it. And I'm on a tight budget so if I can get away with what I was asking that would be best

I took my fpr apart to check it and it was still good. so Its either my pumps not being able to supply enough fuel, or something in my setup is jacked up.
It goes from a racetronix 255lph intank, to a bosch 044 inline after the fuel rail, out the stock line to the rear of the drivers side fuel rail, -6an cross over, out the back of the passengers side rail, -6an lines to the aeromotive fpr, -6 return to the stock return line.
I really think its the pumps. I need to get this fixed before the 8th of march because Im going to firebird raceway in Phoenix to race and I want to run my small pulley.

Where are you getting your power for your 2nd pump from?
