Nothin you can't handle Turtle

Let us know how it goes

I'd love to see pics of you heaving that car! You probably sucked the guts out of the pump with that fuel demand

Are you going to use the stock strainer assembly, or port the bottom of the tank and go with an external pump? Is the new fuel rail done already?

One word. LEAN.

The last dyno sheet I saw showed his AFR going way lean, regardless of the standalone fuel management system. It may only be one or two components, but you know Turtle. Upgrade everthing from the tank to the injectors, and make sure.

Do it right in a BIG way

Pure CFM there, The Tortuga has much greater fuel needs then anything on the stock setup could do.

You gotta remember the condition of stock fuel lines on a 92 chassis I've even thought of replcacing mine as a preventive measure. I think the main fuel line from his pump to the rail is just 'because'. It will provide a larger volume buffer to draw from in extreme fuel-demand conditions.

The fuel rail itself was confirmed to be a weak spot in the system.

Jeff, he'* already WELL over the 500hp mark. Has been for some time now. And that'* without turning on the Venom system.
