What is the flow rate for the pumps? Was it a good fit? I've been told that there are alot of modifications to work with a truck tank, is this true?

They are twin Walbro 255's. The bucket that I put it was cut up pretty good, but other than that and a plug-and-play wiring harness it was really easy do to. My idle pressure is about 52 psi, it's about 62 psi at 3 psi, and at 4 psi when the second pump kicks on pressure jumps up to about 68 psi. I'm still running the stock fuel lines on a return-style fuel system and have not run out of fuel yet on 15 psi on my 408.

What are your fueling needs? Those last two posers....oops I mean posters are running larger cubes and turbo-chargers. Your fueling needs will not be as agressive on most applications.

I run a single W255 pump in tank, with a magnavolt fuel pump booster but again I am Supercharged.

You will need to choose a system somewhat mated to your consumption.
