Are you keeping a stock hard line for a return or replacing with Teflon hose too?

Oh I forgot about needing a Haltech lol.

Well, I'm not sure about EVERYWHERE lol, but there seem to be more and more stations moving into town. There are a BUNCH of Kum & Go stations now, and I think all of them have E85.

Yeah I would imagine. You learn that when you change the fuel filter lol.

Lol nicely done! Dave.

So Im going with 1680ccx2 primaries, they are cheap ($125 pair) high impedance and should flow plenty.

For good ev14 injectors I went through fuelinjectorconnection.com ask for jon. Those guys are great and the 2000cc are going for 155 each. Get them in any length and Inlet size plus pigtails are inc.

I don't think I need 2000 primaries, There are guys running 2000cc x 4 but there engine is pinned and all that, running 30+ psi. My engine is not reinforced.

Goal is to hit a reliable 500 whp. Then have some fun at the track.

They sell more than just 2000cc as well my 850s were 80 piece. I'm curious to know what route you went for the hard lines out of the fuel tank sending unit. I've seen compression style an fittings but hear they are not rated for decent line pressure. I've also seen those bulkhead fittings too which look great.
