Just run dual walboro's or supra tt pumps. CJ-motorsports has a very nice setup that is a drop in replacement.

LUPE ran a A1000 and made 603whp on it. 3/8 fuel line is plenty of fuel. It equates to 6an. Run a 6an feed and return and you'll be fine.

Dual intake assemblies are also just as good. Dual Denso's and dual Wabro's will get you above 600whp and depending on the mounting are virtually silent. Avoiding "T" fittings will also maximize flow capability.

Running an external pump requires a sump pan as you cannot fit an external into a fuel tank. The use of the sump pan is to create the lowest point possible and while in the process of adding it you can modify the baffling.

i was gonna go duel pumps and run 1 to each rail but opped not to due to the risk of having to worry about a failure there is twice the failure rate w/ two pumps. so i went a1000 will be running -8 to the rail and -6 out. should be plenty of fuel
