Depends on what setup you run. Is this on and Eaton, Whipple, KB? There are a million ways to do it just depending how much fuel for what setup you need.

Looks good so far.. you'll also need either a modified FPDM or dual setup, and wiring upgrade to battery

Yeah. Hit up black302 for a modified fpdm or dual setup. He made me a wire harness w relay for my dual setup so i could drill and modify the stock hat with a pair of 12ga wires (for each pump)

My tuner stared me away from the GT pumps and a BAP. He is a very well known tuner and informed me the drivability sucks real bad with the BAP and GT pumps. So save your money and build a quality return system and do it once.

Ya was not a huge fan of my GT pumps and BAP. Had small Gremlins here and there and just never ran right until I went Return style.

if you go return style Id look at Fore and their system that runs just the one pump until you get into boost. It sounds like the Fore setup has some nice features over the Division X stuff from Lethal. When I upgrade again, thats what I'll do.

do it once and build it for as much power as you think youll make later, much cheaper that way.

I went the BAP on stock pumps on 93 and have some low driving issues. Might just be in the tune and 04 Sleeper is going to tune it for me now. I would listen to these guys. If it's at any way possible, I'd do a return style system from Fore. Stuff gets expensive but per Sleeper he said he'd highly recommend getting away from the 80lb injectors too once we go E85 too so just going to have to work as much OT as I can and get the good stuff. You don't want your car stumbling and having fuel issues or run out of fuel entirely/be limited on power. That VMP is going to eat on E85 btw. Good luck with the rest of your build

Do it right the first time. I have a tvs and never thought I'd go e85. Well I did, had to swap injectors, and drop tank again for bigger e85 pumps. Also upgraded feed line and a dead head setup.

This is a fore return fuel system.

OP i'm now having MORE fuel issues. I don't know what it is, hope it's not the engine but I think it's probably the FRPS or a fuel delivery module. Either way I could have probably done a full return style system by now from the money I've spent. If my engine is ok and I'm just thinking the worst b/c I was running it hard before this happened but if it's ok I'm thinking of just putting up the money and going full return. I'm sick and tired of having fuel issues with the returnless set up

The returnless setup can work, but by the time you spend all the money on what's needed, you can just buy a return setup and be done. I sell a lot of Fore L1E kits with (2) 465 pumps. Works great and will provide plenty of fuel with the proper injector.

What do you recommend i get then? Im on a budget so i cant go all out and down the road like i said ill be going with vmp 2.3 and maybe some nitrous so it has to support e85 and the power levels

Have KEVIN get the kit he is mentioning with the 465s and delete the "controller" to save like $300. You can run two 40amp relays at $7 each in its place.

If you go deadhead get an extra 5-6' of hose than the kit comes with.
