Also random question but curious. I see the FPR mounted to the firewall. That always seemed like a clean place to put it but I heard some tracks don't allow you to run if it's mounted there? Any truth to that?

Jake its an A1000 regulator. I don't really care for it though, so soon I may change to a Magnafuel. Twin -8 and single -6 return.

I'm thinking of making a video on how to get the plugs in and out, as there were some who didn't get it, so you'll be able to see everything.

Yes it is true. I havent been called on it yet, and if I do I have a perfect little spot on the intake to put it.

I was thinking about that magnafuel regulator since I'll be running -8 feeds to the regulator but I want to run a -8 return. There aren't any regulators out there with a -8 return though. Are you running E85?

If you need that big of a return you need to reevaluate your fuel system.

I'm going to run -10 feed y'ed to -8 to each rail and then return with a -8. I didn't know if -6 would be sufficient on E85 and my tiny 4.8L at idle.

Can't wait to see this truck running. Looking back through this thread, we will be running really similar fuel systems.

Hey gray ghost... Could you please tell me where you got the Garrett GT98 from... I'm doing some turbo shopping and I haven't found one with a compressor cover like that... Not on here very often... If you wouldn't mind at your convenience- could you shoot me a text to 8607192116 ?? Thanks in advance!

I get away with a -6 return no problem. Remember, -6 can flow over 850 horsepower worth of fuel., if you're returning that much, you can always increase the return size right off the regulator with an adapter but there will be no need to do that.
