Very true...because i mean it wouldn't be too expensive. The fuel hat and regulator are really all that would cost some $$ Ive been lookin for Fore hats on corral but no luck.

My shop gets the 342 walbros pretty cheap and i think two of them will be plenty for what I'm wanting.

id think 6psi would be enough, especially with that HCI combo, itll be an animal...

you could prolly run some 03/04 Cobra 39# injectors with no issues on the returnless

Save money, do it right the first time. You've been without boost this long, you can wait a little longer. Do the fuel system right. You can get a new budget style fuel system with twin aeromotive stealth pumps for right around a grand, and that's using a lot of what you already have. This way, you can boost to whatever pressure you want to and all you gotta worry about is drivetrain and that can avoid damage with driver mod.

Well i just kinda want to do away w/ the returnless lol. Too much computer crap for me.

Anyone know of any companies that sell fuel hats besides like Division X from lethal. Because i know Fore went out of business or something like that.

based on what you described you will be over 400 at 6 psi - turbos are much more efficient.

Why wouldn't you go with DCSS-405 Fuel Pumps instead they aren't much more money in the grand scheme of things.
