I have not been around for a while, but I am back working on my 79' crew cab . Been running it with a 'draw thru carb turbo system', and doing some freshening and up grades . Thing has been parked for so long that I will be installing a set of rebuilt heads, CC'd chambers, clean up surfacing, new valves, new springs and retainers .
These fresh heads will raise the static compression 1/2 point, to aprox. 8.4 to 1 .
Up grades will be a Vortec EFI from a Mercury boat motor, with it's "boat computer", and larger injectors .
Water to water intercooler, Innovate wideband O2 gauge/logger .
I'm lurking here because I bought one of those Fitech 'pump tanks', and I don't think I'll be using it .
I want to run "a return pressure regulator" system, because the fuel flow and pressure react more quickly than a "dead head" system will, and I don't want any LEAN SPOTS while going into boost .
My 79' has a mechanical pump and two tanks, so I want to keep that system operating as it has all these years, and just do a return back to the "small tank" .
Since the Fitech does not have a return, I could return into the line from the block pump to the "small tank", drill and install a return into the "small tank", or just build the whole thing myself, since I won't be using the regulator on the tank either .
Wanting a "return line system" is why I came here to see what results everyone has had so far .
Let me see if I can get some photos up, or the tear down, soon .
