Dave,

Bad choice of mounting on the FPR. rule is it must be 6in from firewall. also, i would personaly have run it away from the exhaust side of the car.... other than that, looks like you are making progress.

did you check that straight coming off the rear of the primary.... may not be enough clearance with injector inplace

Well that sucks considering that means I just wasted $60 in line and most likely $100 in fittings that wont work when I have to re route everything. I did consider mounting it away from the hot side of teh engine bay but could not come up with a clean mounting point. Why must it be 6" away from the firewall? I did check the lines with injectors and they do all clear even the one you mention. Well i would like to know why i need to move it before I dump another $100 into this $1100 fuel system that just keeps getting more expensive. And I wonder why I ask a thousand questions!

I think it's a NHRA rule...not positive tho.



I was gonna say somethin about the fuel routed over the exhaust...but figured it was too high to make a real difference.

Well if it's just a lame drag racing rule I am not too worried about it. I also had just planned on wrapping the DP so i didn't really think the hot side of the engine would be all that bad, but hey i'll see if i can come up with somthing else.

I wish that someone had pointed some of this stuff out to me before I mounted, cut and bought all my fittings as opposed to after. Like my new title?

now you see why i offer the pre-done kits. over time i dont even want to think about how much i persoanly have wasted on fittings that i *thought* i needed, cant use, whatever....

not saying anything about you Dave, but the people that complain (you didnt) the most about the entire system price for something like you are trying to put together are always the ones who also come back and say... "DAMN! i should have just had you make everything for me... it would have saved me a month of figuring it out and $200 (or whatever they wasted) on the whole thing"...
