RE: Hellion.......INSTALLED!!!!!!!
Well I got her all buttoned up and running smooth. I took her to the gas station cause she was a little low and came back to the house. My brother got in the car with the video camera and we took her out for a ***** to wall test drive. We made it about half way down the Pkwy when i noticed she was kinda falling on her face. So i turned it around and started heading back. Made it about halfway back and she died completely..........WTF????? I checked over all the Turbo stuff up front and she was still intact nothing was leaking or burning so i knew it had to be in those dual fuel pumps i installed. My brother assmebled the fuel pumps and sending unit while i was finishing the install. I got it towed back home to my dads shop and took out the back seats to get to the fuel pumps. I started to raise the sending unit out when i saw a "fuel" line that looked like it exploded. I get it out and i see the both lines coming from the fuel pumps were split and cracked and super expanded. I looked at my brother and he is like i dont know WTF happened. I knew exactly what he did he used vaccum line instead of fuel line. The vaccum line was being eaten up by the gas and when the fuel pressure got high enough she let go. I installed new fuel line and put the sending unit back in the tank. The car runs great but now my gas gauge doesnt work!!!![sm=headbang.gif] I FU#$ED it up putting it back in!!!!!! Who knows what that will cost from ford. The fuel pumps were the hardest part of the install!!!

RE: Hellion.......INSTALLED!!!!!!!
I have been curious about how it's going. Everybody seems to go SC on here. It will be interesting to see how you like it. Let us know how the performance numbers crank out.
