53, for a guy who does alot of his own stuff, you sure are against putting together a fuel system. Forgetting about the "air sep" deal for a second. I put together a Walbro setup totally custom BEFORE there was a GDP in existence. In my opinion, my setup is WAY better BECAUSE it is custom. I have a true bypass regulator that I can set from 0 to 60psi and it'll hold that number forever.... (if my lid doesn't blow off my stock fuel filter). I made 617rwhp and the needle on my fuel guage didn't move from 20psi where I have it set at. I have around $400 in my setup not counting my dual 2mic filters. That's another $80 or so. For the money I have invested, I want you to show me something on the market that'll do what my custom "kit" will accomplish....

How does your system regulate pressure? My setup includes a drawstraw and 1/2" lines from tank to pump to filters to bypass reg to cp3 also. The only reason I mounted my filters in my box in the bed is because I didn't want them hanging below the frame which they would be because the CAT filters I use are about a foot long. Aside from the air separation, which we disagree on, I feel my setup is better. And that price includes a spare Walbro that I keep in my glovebox. Considering Walbro makes many OEM pumps that last for the life of a vehicle for the most part, I'm sure I'm under my own warranty for at least ten years plus. And I don't think we can have too clean of fuel. Dual 2mic filters are a minimum for me. I'm thinking of adding more. And I can switch back to my stock fuel pump in about 5 minutes time. So I feel my custom setup is better and cheaper. And I'm sure we'll just have to agree to disagree.

I have a hard time believing you have made your setup for $480 with filters and a spare pump and ALL the fitting required to connect it all...
what do you mean by how does it regulate??? it has regulator in the return line fitting on the airdog base..fully adjustable.
a guy could plumb a back up set-up on any system he buys or makes so that is nothing special to me...
I think we will have to agree to disagree...cause I feel my set-up is superior...a walbro will never separate air and vapor.. so you cant compare the two anyway...this should be a comparison of the raptor and walbro IMHO...but the raptor wins there too
you made a really nice set-up and I dont want to argue that..but when I put it ALL on paper the walbro was WAY more to piece together or buy as a kit when you include shipping from multiple places and hunting parts and fittings down...it just did not make sense for me..
I agree to disagree...no biggie
Cheers

The object is to make the OTHER guy die for it.....
back to the setup....
$109 x 2 for the GSL392's
$18 x 2 for the CAT filters
$20 x 2 for the filter heads
$119 for the Aeromotive bypass
I think I paid $26 for the draw straw I put together thru Source Automotive.
1/2" fuel line was about $35
fittings were around $20
So I'm a little over the 480 mark. Some of the fittings I had from previous projects also...
and there's a one year warranty on the pumps.
