Default Complete Fuel System

I need a complete fuel system. Something with a fuel tank, in-line fuel pump, braided supply and return lines (around -6 lines) fuel lines, and all that kind of jazz. Something like this -> http://www.shopatron.com/product/pro...AER17105/415.0

Is this the best kit available or is there something better that has equivilent parts/performance?

I pieced together my own fuel system. I was definately cheaper to buy a kit, but I wanted specific stuff that I had to buy separate. The Aeromotive kit is one of the better ones out. If you bought it, I'd sell the rails and buy some Behind Bars Race Cars rails though.

What is the better about the Behind Bars Race Cars rails? Im not looking for a FULL out drag car, but i plan on shooting A LOT of nitrous at it, and i wanna make sure i have enough fuel to support the amount of nitrous i throw at it.. i was thinking like 30# injectors, but i need a nice pump and big enough lines to be able to handle the nitrous i pull away from the rails for my wet kit.

What kind of power are you making that you need that much fuel? We use those braided line at our shop for 600+ horspower cars. Or cars that dont have a return style fuel system.

Well if you have that much power you will be happy with 3/8's fuel line. Stock line supports 500 hp.

what size are the stock lines? i was told that my pump/lines wont support the amount of nitrous i want to throw at it, i only have 24lb injectors now, but i wanna switch to 30lbers.. plus i have 94/95 fuel rails, and an in-tank 255 pump..so i figured get the whole damn system..

You should look into another block too if your running the stocker! Do you have 400rwhp or 400 fly? Still a 250 shot on a motor with that much power already is asking for trouble. Sorry, I know you didnt ask about that but I thought I would just let you know incase you didnt. Good luck!

Aeromotive is good kit, but shop around, you can find it cheaper than listed on that link.
