Serious fuel systems.....

guys that have serious fuel systems to feed their power plant....

what are you using for a pump/bypass/regulator combo?

and are you running a seperate nitrous fuel system, or branching off your main feed?


im re-doin the fuel now, and there are so many pumps and regulators from so many companies, all rated in different units with different size inlets and outlets its hard to get a bead on what you really need

Magnaflow Pro Star 500 with built in fuel filter and external fuel return. Also using their 4 port regulator. Same set-up many of the pro-stock guys use, and will support up to 2,000 horsepower. -12 lines from tank sump to pump, -8 from pump to regulator, 3/8" OD stainless steel hard lines from regulator to carbs. 36 psi going in to regulator, and 6 psi going out to the carbs. Way overkill for my current engine combination, but plenty of room to grow - and very reliable.
