I'm getting ready to drop the fuel pumps in but wanted to make sure this would work. I have 2 walbro 450s in the 05 bucket with the socks sitting in the bottom half of the bucket and the return line going in where the venturi is at. I'm not that familiar with how this works but seen a few people return there. I'm trying to avoid cutting the bucket if possible but not 100% against cutting the bucket. The 2 pumps will Y together right outside the fuel tank and go over to the fuel rails in a single -8 an hose. Edit: worm clamps are temporary. and the wiring is not complete waiting on racetronix to get back to me about a hotwire kit for both pumps one with a hobbs switch

I can't really comment on what you got going on there. I've been out of the "in-tank game" for a while now. Let me know if you need anything bud.

Haven't updated in a while but here are a few pics.

I got the fuel pumps wired up with relays and a hobbs switch.
Pulled the rear end and took it to Pyle brothers in Baytown TX to have the tru trac and gears installed.
Installed the trans mount and the driveshaft loop ( loop not bolted down yet)
gauges installed
Mounted the trans cooler

No fan. I never monitored temps though (drag truck ****).

It's a pretty big cooler. I wouldn't think it should be an issue, but just have to wait and see.

I'm thinking I may add one just off a switch that I can operate in the cab when I decide to drive around on the street
