Pump setup looks good, got the same setup but I didn't loop the rails around. Also have two pumps and Efans with no problem. I've done it for 35k miles /two years and have two amps kicking out music as well. Heck I had the same setup on my Talon for 5 years and I'm sure a much weaker alternator with no issue.
I had to get a my convertor reworked as well. Drove me nuts when my RPMS didn't move with MPH.

Yeah im going to order another pump next week and see how far I get with twin 255s stock fuel lines and #80 injectors. And im going to see if the converter acts a little better once I set the shift points higher, this was 5500 I think when its shifting at 6500 it will be better, even if the converter dont push throw I think its better to have a tighter one with the turbo cause they like to lug a little harder. I want to try and see how fast I can go without a trans brake so I had him set it up so I could brake stall a little higher. 6 weeks till are track opens I hope to get some base runs on 12 psi e85 then and start slowly dailing her up.

Been busy lately so not much has happened, I was getting a little lifter knock from time to time so I pulled it all back apart a put new ls7 lifters in it, I really hope this is the last time I have to pull my heads off! Getting that wraped up today and installing the 80# injectors, the 255 pump should be here next week. Also got a tripple gauge pod ordered that will have wide band, boost, and trans temp in it. In a months time I hope to get some base track times on this dude.

Any updates?
I have a 2000 Silverado that I'm going to turbocharge soon. It sounds like I should be able to just do dual pumps in tank and be okay. Is that what you did or did you use a hobbs switch to activate the 2nd pump? I'm seriously think dual Denso 1020's would work best for me. Not sure how much room there is in the stock fuel bucket though.
Cool build man!

I just feel I have to much stall in this thing, 12 psi on 91 im only seeing 600 rpm drop in the shifts and im still on my 4.56s, so im going to get it restalled from a 3700 to a 3200 If she dont spool up ill just add a hit of n20 at the line, im also going to be installing the 3.73 gears aswell as the fuel system upgrade. Hoping to get some shake down passes with this thing sometime this year yet if I ever get that far.
