I was gonna do braided lines with AN fittings...Thats a clean look'n also.

I'd try to hide them out of sight.

Also every fitting you add is another chance for a leak........

I agree with these guys. It does look clean, but there are alot of junctions there. I'd see about remounting the assembly out of sight and/or using some braided line with appropriate angle AN fittings. Comes out very clean and minimizes connections.

I agree there are quite a few juntions,but compared to the paxton kit connections it is a lot more stable. I will eventually upgrade further when I figure out where I want to hide them.

Interesting, yes.

I notice that you insulated them as well. Have you taken any temperature readings on the pumps themselves? I put reflective foil on mine and dropped the temp by 15 degrees.

not yet- just got everything installed

I have only run it a couple of times to make sure everything felt right

After I dyno on Friday I will start playing.

When do the fuel pumps kick in? I have run it through 1,2, and hard in 3- pulls like a frieght train but I have no idea if the pumps are working as I do not have a pressure gauge installed yet.

I have wired the spli-sec, unit to control the pumps.

thanks

the 90 degree angles may hurt the fuel flow.

That may be the case-I am a little out of date on my fluid dynamics- but the same would be true of the multiple brass tees that came with the paxton kit.

Guess I will see what the dyno tells me
