If anyone is wondering...
we drilled AND tapped the tank for 1/2" NPT and threaded the -10 x 1/2" NPT fittings into the tank using Seal-All as the sealant.
All fittings are Fragola except for the fuel rail adapter which is Russell 640850.
M18 copper gaskets are Dorman 2pk of oil drain plug gaskets. M12's come w/ pumps; however, using only one on the pressure side and tightened down well it still leaked. Put the extra one on that came in the hardware bag and added thread sealant on the threads and it sealed up nicely...not sure if it was the 2nd copper gasket or the sealant that did the trick.
Fuel filters are obviously from Summit...but price matched to Smiley's Racing Products (from $69 down to $49ea).
"Y" is from Smiley's Racing...would've had Summit match that too if I hadn't already bought it...cheapest one I've found...$20

if you had to guess, how thick is the tank where yall drilled it?
That looks like a great idea instead of trying to do a dual intake setup.
but then again if you had to brake hard you could starve them and have a air bubble in the line for a second.

i like how u did this setup. My truck currently sits a lil lower in the rear thus creating issues with fuel starvation when tank is a lil low. Did this fix this issue for u? Im NA setup so i bet it was something to deal with being boosted.

If I ever needed to hook it back up...I could do that pretty easily.
