Default Uhhhh - wow!

Thanks for all the input. Maybe I can make this question a little easier. My csx4750 series came plumbed from the factory with two fuel pumps in the trunk running (2) -6 lines into the engine compartment. I planned on running them into a junction block, into a Holley fuel pressure regulator, into a large summit fuel filter into -8 aeroquip line to a single Holley 4150hp 750cfm double pumper with an aeroquip -8 fuel log and measuring fuel pressure off the other end (after it feeds the carb) on a 1965 427 (30 over) side oiler with edlebrock aluminum heads (Intake = 2.19, exhaust=2.09) rated at ~525 gross / crankshaft hp. Does anyone have actual experience with a similar set up and will it be adequate for a spiritedly driven street car (I already have enough racing mustangs for the track). The car is already plumbed this way, but I am still struggling with getting it finished and running, so I can still change it if I have to, but I don't want to have to replumb it. Thanks again.

That's kind of the way my car is. It should be fine. I have both electric pumps pumping through the same 6AN line, then a suction 6AN line to my mechanical pump, with its outflow to a junction block with the 6AN line from the electric pumps, and out from the junction block with a 8AN line. Should be fine.

John, Did you get the email I sent you about the headers?

Who picked the 2.09 size exhaus valves Mighty large, see it hurting overall performance.

Thanks Morgan,
Shelby is sending me a replacment aprt which should fit better. Oddly they don't know why the spec on the # 5 tube is to go between the steering shaft and the support, but I think it has something to do with authenticity..
