Okay, I already have the sock, and a -8an fitting for the output. So if I can find a -8 to 3/8" barb that should work. I already have the pump wire jumped for the inline 044 with 10ga. Could I go from that to the intank 044?

 

Your truck and my truck weigh pretty much the same. When I was running 12.4's, it dyno'd 426 hp to the tires. There's video of it floating around here somewhere.

 

No I would certainly run a new wire from the relay under the fuse box all the way back to the pump, you want to avoid breaks in the wire, just because it isn't the way to do it, secondly it is a place for moisture and chit to build up, then that is the weak link.. Mind you if you run a barb in place of the check ball you will need to possibly key the truck 1-2-3 times to prime the rails.. Doesn't bother me a bit to prime it if I have to..

As for the sock, i would take and cut a small groove around the shank that the sock it self slides onto, put a external snap ring on it so the sock can not slide all the way up it, become blocked. Had big time issues with it, had me going ******* crazy untill I saw the problem, corrected it. TRUST ME

As for the HP calculator, I think it is off a few HP esp if you were not making more then 10lbs of boost..

 

Taping the Factory OEM plastic tank is a TERRIBLE Idea.

There are very few products that will stick to the OEM Plastic to seal it up. And No one, Including the dealer will Even attempt to repair one. The Junk yards out here are not even legally allowed to sell used fuel tanks.

BTW, Have you priced out a new Tank??? From what I can find on Google, it looks like GM part# 15772874 $643.43 list price.

 

Can I use the trigger wire on the current relay to trigger the second relay? It was hard enough to get to it the first time. The wires under the box are very stiff and don't move much. And I already have to turn the key and wait 2-3 seconds for the system to prime so that isn't a big deal. What fuel line should I get?

 

No, because like we agreed on earlier, flow is ultimately limited by the least following pump. Using two of the same pump means they will have half the pressure so even then you're looking at a 6.5 percent drop instead of a 13 percent drop across that pressure, which is not much better. you could have 100 of those pumps in line but they will still only flow what a single one will flow at a given pressure because of the curve is so flat.

 

But since I have two would it hurt to try both?

 

Just keep the other pump as a spare, like Richard said.

 

Okay. So only one pump? Hope it's enough. Lol

 

Yeh I get that **** confused.. In a series like that it will not be like double the pump, only if done in a parallel would it be.
