Got a few more pictures from the painter this weekend. Apparently my K-member at one point took a hard hit so he got that straightened out and back in the car.

So I'm planning my fuel system right now and I'm trying to decide what route to take. I know that 98 is a weird year for fuel systems so it can be a bit tricky for us.

I was hoping to go with the DivisionX GEN 3 Dual Pump Return Style Fuel Hat Manifold from Lethal Performance paired with two of their Walboro 465lph pumps, -10am feed lines, -8 return lines, MMR fuel rails, and 80lb injectors. Am I missing anything or need to change something with this setup? I am thinking it should support well over my 600rwhp goals with E85.

List:

Walboro 465lph fuel pump

MMR fuel rails

Got a few new pics from the painter. Front suspension is back in after painting the interior of the fenders, the rear wheel wells are rolled, and the previous repairs on the rear 1/4 panels reared their ugly heads. It looks like instead of pulling the metal to do the repairs the previous shop just put bondo over the repairs on each rear quarter panel. Wonderful.

Car looks great! I don't see why that fuel system wouldn't support your and more. I'm running pretty much that same setup using in a Lethal 1200hp return setup. My power numbers are in my sig. Still have headroom per my tuner.

Very nice build and save of a BAB. I would go with the 274 465 pumps and not the 267. The 274 has a higher pressure release that is designed for E85 use. Feel free to hit me up with any questions.

Excellent, I will keep that in mind. I'll PM you once I'm ready to pull the trigger on the fuel system - I have heard nothing but good things about you and your operation.

Cool to see an update, i came across this link through a google search and i remember when you first got the car. Painted engine bay looks great.


Thanks sir. I appreciate it.

No real update on the BAB other than I'm hoping it gets out of paint by the end of February. Really wanting to make Mod Nationals this year.
