Also with new trans and new slave, I should have RE-measured for clutch spacing/shimming needed and I didn't. My mistake.

Trans is back in, with a GM replacement slave, measured out and in the range of what is acceptable per Manuf Recommendations.

I will check this evening to see if the clutch releases like it should after bleeding fully. After that is confirmed I will be re-installing all the turbo piping / exhaust I had to remove, and the new Bowler shifter (previous had split the boot and was leaking).

Based on some signs of fuel starvation and the car having so much left on the table power wise, I've started to collect parts for fuel system change:
Vaporworx controller:


Twin Walbro 525LPH (285s) in custom Housing:



Not shown is the new Fuelab FPR, hoses/fittings, etc needed for the pump and fuel rail feed changes.

Also have some more items on order for changing the WG control to Dome control and twin solenoids. Hoping it all fits around what I already have but there is more work needed there, like drilling and tapping the compressor housing, so that will be a bit.

Will, what size fuel lines are you running to the front? All flex, or hard lines?

No problem. Sorry was a little short i was on phone and away from home.

System currently is:
Two CTS-V pumps
Two -6AN feed lines (one goes through a Flex Fuel Sensor)
Billet y-block, 2x -6AN to -10AN
-10AN PTFE line to a inline filter
-10AN/-10AN Filter
-10AN PTFE to the passenger fuel rail, rear
Passenger Fuel Rail
-8AN PTFE Crossover
Driver Fuel Rail
Plug with Fuel Pressure Sensor as a "dead head"

Changing it up slightly.
One V pump will remain and the flex fuel sensor will be on that -6AN line.
One V pump is being replaced with the Ricks twin 525LPM pump configuration with -10AN from the tank
The -10AN line will have a Fuel Pressure Regulator acting as a "safety" for the V pump if i see a big pressure spike. V pump cant bypass enough fuel for the two 525's. This Fuel Pressure Regulator will have a -6AN return to the tank
Billet Y block will be re-configured to have a -10AN/-6AN to -10AN
Everything from there will be same to engine bay.
In engine bay i'm splitting the -10AN line that originally went to passenger rail to another Billet Y block configured as -10AN to 2x -8AN
Each AN line will feed the rear of each rail, pressure sensor inline on the driver rear through an adapter fitting.

I'll be getting pictures of these upgrades and will share. Hoping to start them today or tomorrow. Waiting on some 8GA wire to show up monday before i can put the tank back in position but can mount the FPR, configure the lines, etc.

What billet Y-block are you using? I'm running twin Walbro pumps with my Vaporworx and need a Y-block myself.

I have two Fore Innovations. I’ve heard excellent things about Petersen manifolds though.

Dude, you're cool, no worries, but thanks a whole bunch for spelling it all out. Sounds like fuel delivery will not be an issue, moving forward!!!

Mark at Bent Customs makes his own very nice full flow Y-block as well. I have used it on two fuel system builds.
