Marty, I'm doing the same with my fuel system. I can't tell you how many times I discussed it with Jody. lol

We set my truck up to go both way's. After reading all of the discussions. I decided that we had to do it. But Dave ( Comp Fab ) said let's at least plan for a regulator up front just in case.

But I am sold on this way.

ps - does anyone have the link to the thread

Jody,
Your computer is ready to ship today. :thumbsup:

that's awesome Steve. Here's another example of a great vendor (Twist Machine) helping out beyond what was needed. I have a TCI trans computer in the car, and wanted a new harness for it as I'm re-wiring the car. TCI didn't have any, they've gone to a new controller and harness. Since I'm running one of Steve's paddle shifters I decided to call him to see if he could locate one. Steve offered me his Powertrain Control (PCS) unit at a price I couldn't refuse, and I ordered a new harness from them. The PCS unit has some unique tuning features, and you all know how much I like that! :thumbsup:

Thanks again Steve, much appreciated.

The main reason(s) I like it is because it simplifies the fuel lines, only one to run up into the engine compartment. Secondly, it stops the heated fuel from the engine compartment and rails from going back to the tank. Not an issue in around-town driving, but you get out on the road for 200-300 miles and you would be amazed how hot the fuel in the tank gets. The gas is very hot coming back and the fuel level in the tank is dropping, making it even worse. This then causes the pump to cavitate, and eventually you're stuck on the side of the road waiting for stuff to cool off. Ask me how I know............ ;)

Power Tour 05 saw many cars have this issue.

Jody,

Can you post a link to this fuel system thread for a goober like me ??
Sounds like a cool way to set things up. I'm also assuming your running a vaccum line from the motor back to the regulator or is there some other way to do that ??

Thanks for any input on this, I appreciate it :hail:
