Hello again.
I am trying to come up with my fuel system. I like the dual pump setup, and have a few questions.
Is there any reason NOT to run the supply line from each pump up to each rail in parallel? By this I mean one pump supply direct to one rail, the other pump to the other rail.
Then on the other end of the rail mount the regulator and return?
My other question is, what do these connectors fit? It is supposed to be a 93-97 LT1 Fuel Rail to 6 AN fitting, but for the life of me I can figure out where the non-AN end goes.

Now, I saw the thread where someone used easy off to remove the annodized finish, sand the end of the rail and threads off of the AN adapter. Wouldn't these work and save some time?

Its only $4.95 and is 8-AN size. I am getting my TIG torch out and changing tanks for aluminum.
The other route I looked at is one several guys are doing, with the HP Walbro in tank pump and the racetronix wire kit (or the whole kit from racetronix) that has the BAP (boost a pump) connectors already in it.
I plan on having (flywheel) 400 HP N/A, ~600 HP ATI Procharged, and maybe eventually try a 150 shot of N2O on top of that, so I need a pump system that can support around 750 flywheel HP.
Would the walbro and BAP fit my needs easily? I do NOT want to deal with the fuel system more than once, and it will be easy to run bigger lines, mount an external pump if I have to, etc while the engine/transmission/driveshaft and rear axle are out of the car.
My son's teenage friends say my car sounds like a truck. They all run ricers with the fart can exhaust. I intend to 'enlighten' them sometime this summer when I am done.
