(besides the sending unit itself)I was doing some research through the threads, and it had been discussed that the DP setup was too large to fit in the part of the tank that surrounds the pickup that keeps it submerged. That definitely wouldn't work for me.
So, you have personally installed the DP setup, and you didn't have to make any modifications to the tank?

Re: Dynoed, now have a fuel issue
The setup the Lonnie Patvis sells requires you to send in the stock fuel bucket so he can modify it. I saw someone else do the same on LS1tech.com.
However on my current car I just chucked the bucket and mounted the single walbro unit onto the pump assembly and had no problems for 5 years before my motor blew up. I don't think the dual pump would be any different and with 2 pumps going on at the same time I highly doubt the return line is going to keep the bucket full at all times.

I hate to hijack a thread, but if I am putting out about 900FWHP, what is going to be the best way to go for me? Should I look into the Aeromotive pump? How much extra would a completed version be?
