twin pumps is far more complex in this vehicle then you probably know... which is why no one has yet released a kit for it. Much easier said then done.
was curious on your twin pump set up. are you running 2 feed lines with it? i talked with carlos and he is anxious to get this piece from ya.

OK this the best way to do this is to feed both rails with a Y, then on the other end they come out into another Y which is the return which goes to the FPR then return back to the tank?

no need to Y again before the fpr. just get one with dual inlets, single outlet. feed from the rear as that gives you the least amount of bends for flow. bends in the returns are not as important. in the pic of the rails on the motor i was short one fitting so just imagine it hooked up, lol. those are the only pieces i used (minus the lines) to make the return. i used an inline walbro though in stead of intank. still have the stock pump w/ no mods to the stock fpr or anything. using the stock pump to feed the walbro. will find out how much flow this is good for to please everyone very soon. the stock pump should freeflow enough fuel to keep the walbro satisfied making the pressure and theoretically, the stock fpr should never close. on the down side, the walbro inline is noisy. i can live with it though. just need to insulate better. there is a perfect spot for it under the car under one of the covers by the trans.

that is using all factory feed lines. the car running a walbro to 675ish rwhp has all upgraded undercar lines and output fitting to help

255 "High Pressure"?

And at what fuel pressure for the 550whp limit?

you will want the Walbro part number GSS342. This is the best fit 255 high pressure pump for your car.

The required fuel pressure for 550whp will depend heavily on your injector sizing and design of your fuel system. You should really have 650cc or larger injectors for this goal. Perhaps start with a base pressure of around 50psi, and adjust it as needed.

Has anyone every thought of running 2 intank stock fuel pumps, basically buy another fuel assembly and place it in the driver side tank, keep the stock FPR then run one fuel pump for each rail, without a return, just one pump on each rail, both stock, what do you guys think?

No good... one pump will run dry before the other and fry out... and most likely in the first one or two times you drive the car. this would only work if you constantly kept the tank filled nearly all the way to to top.

The gas tank is divided by the driveshaft, which is why you cannot do this.

To twin pump this car is much more complex then you would imagine at first, which is why its been taking a while for professionals such as my company and AAM to come out with a solid enough solution to sell to others.

Bingo on the HP.

Why wouldnt you guys drop down to 43PSI base? (you would need to check the FP PSI your injectors flow rates are based off of). This way the GSS342 has more volume left in it. Put a Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump on it and at 17v you should be good for a good bit more volume over the 13.5v flow ratings on the GSS342. Perhaps 850bhp? or if you keep the 50PSI base perhaps 800bhp.

i run 1000cc injectors so i have no problems with my base pressure at 43psi.

personally, i would never run that boost a pump. i would rather have twin pumps, obviously
