So this is a nice piece from SADFAB.com that hold the D585 LS2 GM coils. Could not build it better!

This is the current plan for the fuel system. AN6 from tank to filter than to reg and one port back to tank other to the stock line to the front. Simple but should be effective.
DW300
ID1000
Fuel 818
Areomotive 1:1 Regulator
30 Amp relay for FP off batt

I've just realised how long this build has been in progress, slow indeed! But at least it's gaining momentum now

You're doing nearly all the stuff on my "one day" list.

There is not enough documentation on the how this fuel setup is done so here are some pics. Tank adapted to AN6 lines to Filter to regulator one port back to tank other back to stock fuel line. From what I have gathered this setup HAS supported 430 whp on E85. I removed carbon canister to make room but this all fits right where the stock fuel filter sat. The bottom if the car in this area has studs there to mount the carbon canister so I used them to bolt in this setup.

About 6 months have gone by time to get some work done on the MSM build.
ITS OFF THE ENGINE STAND!
Clutch and flywheel install tonight or at least really soon.
