At least you know your fuel supply is solid. That's worth a lot for peace of mind.

Yeah I'm actually gonna drop my tank and re-do my connections for both the fuel line and the electrical connections. Trying to decide if I should get oetiker clamps or normal fuel injection clamps.

I used worm clamps on the fuel hose and kinda overheated one end of it when I was installing the walbro 450 in the bucket, and I spliced the the power wires instead of using a metri-pack 280 connector because I didn't have the correct terminal ends or the correct crimper/terminal pin remover. Just wanna do it right.

the supercharger is going to eat up another 100 hp over a turbo so by the numbers it is easier to make more power on turbos then a pd blower. Prime example my 2017 zl1 runs out of fuel system at about 700whp but guys taking the blower off and going to a twin or single turbo setup are making in the 800swhp on the same fuel system.
