#2 You may need to install a pump controller on that pump to lower the voltage during cruise/idling conditions. This creates a lot less heat in the pump and heats the fuel less.
#3 Install one of these nifty cool cans on the return line to the tank to cool the fuel!

Thanks Jody. The oversized fuel system is all because of the turbo headers I bought off of you
.
I might try the regulator before the fuel rails. I set the system up accourding to the MagnaFlow (now MagnaFuel) diagrams and they put the pressure control unit after it flowed through the fuel rails.
MagnaFuel says on their website not to use a voltage step-down device and now looking at the page that is on (
http://www.magnafuel.com/support/index.htm) they say that the tank vent needs to be at least a -8 which it isn't close to. I will try that first to at least get it up to their specifications.
If I can't figure it out, I'll definately be mounting a big fuel cooler box in the trunk. I think that instead of ice, I'll have my A/C system dedicated to cooling it off.
