thanks
I've done it a couple different ways. There are links to my build threads in my sig, and there are pics of both ways I've done it. I like the sumped tank the best.

Does Kanasa City mean Kansas City?

The LS1 Camaros use an in-tank pump with its own attached filter, AFAIK. Why would you want this? If you're looking for the part number for the LSx Corvette external filter/regulator, see the very first post in this thread.

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install

I thought I read in one of the past threads that if you had a return line off the fuel rail I needed to us Camaro one instead? might be reading it wrong.

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install

Based on all the reading here, here is the plan I came up with to route fuel from a Boyd tank with intank fuel pump. Did I miss anything? Is 25 feet enough or too much? Fuel tank is mounted under the bed.

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install

Depends which rails you have, return style or returnless. If you have returnless rails that will do it but I would look at using OEM type nylon fuel line & connectors to save a boat load of money over going all AN stuff.

Thanks for the response, that is a great idea. Mine is a return-less, and I did a little digging. Unfortunately I could not find a -6orb to 3/8 SAE Quick disconnect, so I had to use a combination of connectors coming out of the pump. Even with that, this is a significant savings.

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install

Very interesting thread, following.

Like your system BR3W City, you think you have part numbers for some of those fittings, and stuff you used?
