Were the lift pump mounts a requested option ? I mean I assume they are not standard.
I looked up that VR2 pump - holy cow are you really planning on more than 2200hp in this thing or put another way why didn't you just use the VR1 ?
Thanks for the tip on Fuel Safe vs. ATL.
Another thought not directed at you but someone looking at this setup - I was using saddle tanks and I used the "passive" pump from a late model Vette to continuously pump fuel into the primary tank (same as OEM vette). You could use a similar strategy here in fact I think that's what the OEM's do in the last gen Camaro and Cadillacs (pump into a reservoir with a passive pump). I'm not sure how you would run two of them though, not sure they could work that way.

No, not standard! I went over what I was wanting to do with there engineer and this is what we came up with. IMSA, Nascar and Arca use a similar set of lift pumps as well with the EFI setups.

I am turbocharged, so I built an engine capable of a sustained 1800 HP for Bonneville and Mile events. It will NEVER see that on the street or road course/autoX. I can "adjust" the output between about 550-1100 for different venues. This is one of the reason my car is a bit of a pig. Aside from needing a beefier cage, the driveline has to handle the top power level, so much heavier components are needed for more than just a road course/autoX car.
Little bit, got the front on and some support bars in.
I notched the existing frame structure to accept the 2x3" rails of the clip. The car is locked down, so made careful measurements and cuts to fit everything nice and tight.
So after fitting, took some measurements and everything was way off. WTH? Turns out Ron sent the front blueprint with a different ride height than everything else. So back out, lower the sub and fix and fill in all the careful cutting and fitting, then refit. Lots of time wasted here.

Have you decided what transmission your going with given the max possible engine output and the targeted duties for the vehicle (track and street)?
This car is reaching the point where, when it's done, seeing it (preferably in action) will be on par with a major celebrity sighting. Keep adding the awesomeness!
