    You're not the only one that cried to Holley for 6L trans support.. I was like; "it's 2023 FFS, why can't I have a damn 6 speed auto controlled by My Terminator X ?"

    Unrelated to this video... but have you looked into those 19in brushless spal fans that came on 2016 and up SS Camaros. They have two big power wires and then a PWM signal wire for the ECU, the brushless controller is built in, they are like 800W and you can find them cheap at the junkyard... would be a cool video. I know you hate it when things overheat

    I used that nylon fuel line to connect my Walbro to my sender. No clamps, no leaks. Not the easiest or most forgiving stuff to work with, but so far so good!

    I could have missed it, but you’re going to use a 10 micron before injectors, not a 100 right?

    1. Is the hose e85 rated?
    2. Better to use Fuel Injection clamps.

    Have at beating the trans tunnel into submission but that trans is bigger than you think. We did one on a g-body and ended up cutting the tunnel out. we weren’t even worried about tucking it up because the car was on 24s so ground clearance wasn’t an issue.
    It’s not that it’s THAT big it’s just how large it is allllll the way down the trans.

    Not sure about hf air hammers but they could be great.. I have never had a chance to test one. But I have a Chicago pneumatic cp714 the little one(717) is the big daddy. But the small one has a super verbal trigger. Highly recommend if you do have a little money to blow on one

    Quality looking unit. I am building a 4th gen Fbody and the fuel tanks are hard to work with on those. Also, since there is no trunk running a fuel cell is a bit sketchy.

    Are you PWM'ing the pumps at the same time or you're going to stage them? Does that model pump have internal check valves? (Not the 044)
    Once you use fuel injection hose clamps, you won't use the worm ones anymore. They clamp better and don't cut the hose as you tighten them.

  • @keithschuessler3435

    With the surge tank mounted at the rear, would it make any sense to weld a section of a steel oil pan to the tank and put pump pickups at the bottom of the sump instead of using a separate surge tank?

  • @ClarksAutoAndPerformance

    I wholeheartedly believe your 6l80 will do fine with a power adder using the holley control. The pcs was junk. Let me know if you want to borrow my homework for the virtual torque table and tm table.

    Do you run just the 100 micron filter inline before the fuel rails? Seen lots of other people who say you need a 10 micron. Or are they just trying to sell us their products?

    Unless u have a nascar this over kill 450 is 750 hp 2 1500 plus your stock fuel pump which normally is around 400-600 that’s already 2100 who tf is pushing 2100hp+ on the road to add an extra 3rd one is just a waste
