So I bought a lethal 1400hp fuel system kit but it is a deadhead setup. I would like to convert it to a parallel setup. Does anyone has pics. to how to set it up?
So far im ordering more fuel lines, fittings,
hobbs switch, and a Y block.

Is there anything else i might be missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mine is run parallel also...make sure you feed the front and return out the rear. I run a -10 to a y block (feed) splits into dual -8 to front of each rail...then feed -8 to the regulator.

I would run the Fore innovations controller, you can wire in a hobbs switch for the second pump. Fore has some really nice stuff and Justin the owner is full of knowledge. Give him a shout and he can walk you through it.

FWIW I was a newby to fuel systems until I done my cars system, once you understand whats going on its fairly simple.. Good luck

I spoke to Justin about running pumps full time and he told me they heat the fuel up too much if you run it full time. I would also like to see where you mounted Y block and regulator.

I run e85 so fuel heating isn't a issue for me. I'm going on 1 year of usage and haven't had a single issue minus the 2 465's crapping out.

I can text you some later today if you want. 203-545-3730 is my cell #. My feeds and return both run on driver side...I have a Y block right after the opening under the master cylinder on driver side fender apron. It's all tucked nice and neat out of sight as well...only thing you can see is the regulator.

did ya' ever get your system installed? just curious

Yes ,my system is in. I have a few small things to do then I can pressure test and check for leaks. Then I can get the blower mounted and take in for a new tune. You can p.m. me if you have any questions.
