If you look at the second picture in the first post, the one on the right is flat and at the bottom, and the one on the left is a few inches higher and bent upward.

Thunder550 had a thread on this years ago. I cant remember what the conclusion was, but IIRC his was due to low-impedance injectors. I think he lower FP 1bar, and raised IDC 10%.

I think I went to small on my injectors as well.

I was going to go with twin 255lph pumps. After reading this, I think I am going to run the twin 400lph pumps.

Richard, what are you going to run for a supply and return line? I am wondering if -10AN supply, and -8AN return is too small for two of them in my setup.

-8 feed and -6 return.....I have one on a hobbs switch, so the return should be adequate....thought about going to -10 on the feed, but the fittings on the rail are only -8, so im not sure how much head loss I would be saving...

I redid my fuel bucket using an 07 bucket and some 3/8 pipe fittings from mcmastercarr. I think the way I had it before might have been leaking and bleeding off pressure, and this way is cleaner anyway.

I also thought this was really interesting...here are the 3 different style fuel buckets from 99 to the current gmt900 body style:

There are a lot of differences between all the years. If you look back at my bucket, youll notice Im using the 07 top, with the 03 lower bucket, and a 99 level sensor
The bucket of the 03-06 is much taller than the 07, which is why I wanted to use it.

Looks good, I will be doing the same thing with my 05 bucket. I already ordered my twin 400's.

did you have any issues fitting the newer bucket into the hole in the fuel cell... it looks to be bigger around..

He's using the 03+ fuel tank I believe.
