yeah, definetly need better brakes now! i have plumbed in two walbros, added another wastegate and hooked up the boost controller. i was hoping to make it to dinwiddie this weekend but the weather doesnt look to promising. i was curious to see what traction is going to look like with the leaf springs and caltracs. i will be putting in a 4link over the winter!(and brakes!) thanks again frost! hes got me tuned dead on @ 15psi on pump gas/meth. i finished permantly mounting the boost control solenoid last night. here are a couple more pics.....

I have spoken to Aeromotive before about building my fuel system. They suggest at least a -8 return line on even a low horsepower build. I think your -6 is choking off your regulator. Aeromotive said you don't want your return line regulating your regulator. Just a thought. Cool build, I let my 1980show truck go after a layoff.

I have an aeromotive setup as well, and I used to run a -6 return line.
I measured pressure on the return line because I was concerned as well and it was at 22psi.
I now run a -8 just incase.
Just posting to give a start on discussing this.
Also, if they suggest a -8, I wonder why they only give you a -6 return hole in the regulator?

Too close for missiles, switching to guns
Halloween beer pong at UCSB
Sorry, couldn't help myself. I think of Top Gun everytime I see this posting...
Regarding the return line, it seems like a majority of the postings I see in the fueling section of LS1tech is using a -6AN return. Is the 22 psi a problem? What is the psi with a -8AN?

hey dmaxxr, im kind of wondering the same thing. the only reason i went with the -6 return is because the port size is -6. i have`nt had any problems with the two walbros.
