Anyways, just finished upgrading my fuel system. The GT500 motor was starting to starve a bit at WOT.
I decided to go with the new LP triple hat fuel system. Well put together kit. Comes with everything you need. I did modify a couple items (I prefer a different line and connector in the engine compartment).
We took it to the track for a little testing and it appears now we have a little spark blow out going on. We also may be a little rich on the transbrake and need to lean it off a little. However, these are welcome problems as we were able to turn up the boost.
Here are a couple pic's.
I have some finished pictures but their on my camera in my truck (bought a new truck the other day and it's getting a few things done to it). I'll post them later.

how much boost you running for that 670 rwhp, and is it w/ a 3.4L whipple?
and how much boost/hp would you be at to warrant this triple pump hat?
looks like a nice setup tho.

I'm running 16lb's of boost and a 125 shoot of nitrous.
I'm actualy running a ported Eaton (guess I didn't post that mod).

The fuel system is good upto 1100 hp. However, my 670 is through a heavy automatic trans. That would equate to almost 800+/- in my old 6 speed trans.

Never went to a GT500 pump set up. Ran a GT40 pump with a boost a pump and was still able to run a 10.30 in the quarter with no issues.
However, when we ported the blower and added the innovators west overdrive pulley it was getting lean on the top end.
I'm looking at doing a little more tunning now. The car may be a little rich coming off the transbrake and we appear to have a little spark blow out happening.
We'll be installing a Boost a Spark and leaning her out on the transbrake next week when we get back from Joliet.

I don't like to wait. Strictly Perofrmance did a fantastic job.
We did change a few things. We opted for steel braided fuel lines in the engine compartment. Just didn't care for the the push fittings and nylon braided in there. I'm sure it would have been fine but it was a personnel preferance thing.
We tapped the fuel line on the drivers side so our nitrous kit would have a shorter fuel line instead of running behind the S/C. We put a pipe plug in the extra hole in the passenger side rail.
We used electrical heat shrink on the ends off the nylon braided fuel lines to prevent fraying at the cuts.
Other then those couple of items which are mostly, as I mentioned, personnal preference things the kit was complete and well put together.

Thanks for the info Eric. Glad you like the kit. As mentioned before please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with. Jared
