That sounds very complicated but thanks for a idea I was looking to try simple solution first to check maybe lines or electric... Dose anyone think the fuel pump which came with the radix kit is enough for the 60lb injectors 10psi boost and 408
Thanks
Thanks

If you are running 10 PSI on a 408 with a Radix, you are really turning it! You could try a boost a pump or a Magnavolt to increase the fuel flow. The real problem is that the regulator is in the tank. The regulator sets the fuel pump inside the tank, and the engine runs off of the fuel pressure at the rail. In a perfect world it would be the same, but the lines and distance cause a restriction lowering the pressure at the rail.

I think I understand what your saying. Is that the regulator is commanding for example 55psi but the travel and size of pipes fuel rail pressure will be lower yes makes perfect sense.. So my fuel pump and regulator are working perfectly at idle as I see about 51 psi at rail. But when I go full throttle pump can't keep up around 5000 rpm so looks like boost pump might help..
Went to dyno last night air fuel just gos lean around 5000 rpm
