Last year before cruisin the coast, I decided to tackle a fuel heating issue that was giving me problems. Rough hot starts, really loud fuel pumps, and some power loss in hot weather.
The system was two 255 LPH pumps plumbed through the factory lines and fuel rails. The regulator was mounted at the end of the fuel rails, where the unused fuel was then returned to the tank.
That created a major problem. With two pumps that size, at light load conditions, all 15 gals of a hypothetically full tank would be cycled through the 190 degree fuels rails every 7 min!!! No wonder the pumps would get so loud I thought they were failing.
I had to put the regulator before the rails, that way the unused fuel would be returned before passing though fuel rails.
I did all that prior to cruisin the coast but managed to forget one item, the fuel filter. Had to add a high flow AN style one.
Then it was time to upgrade the exhaust. I’ve had flowmasters on this car for 15 years. Love tge sound on a 5.0, but they really dont work well with mod motors. After searching YouTube, I settled on
Borla Stingers. Got it all mocked up. Need to remove and finish weld. That’ll have to wait until tomorrow.
After that I’ll install the new radiator and news fans, plus a nice mod to enhance the cooling system.
