Which LP to upgrade too?

I'm going to oput in some Mach 4's or other Stg 4 injectors soon, but I want to upgrade my LP from stock.

My question is which kit out there will allow me to locate the LP near the tank, will allow me to get rid of the stock fuel fiter (location at least), and go directly to the IP with a bigger fuel line? I look at the stock configuration and can help but think that it's very resrtictive. Please advise.

I helped B4wheeler install the Vulcan big line kit with the LP relocation kit. Very nice and not too expensive. PM him for details.

Airdog PF-100 from PureFlow Technologies.

What's the issue with the stock filter? I'd recommend the AFS Big Dog Fuel System (Walbro based), if it wasn't for the filter issue.

Just location of the filter, it would be cleaner away from the motor.

just for thought check out like the RASP and other machanical fuel pump issues, electric is still electric and idk i'm not a big fan of them... the Areomotive A1000 has been used in quite a few trucks with AMPLE pressures/flows but kinda pricey. I wouldnt mind throwin a hotter cam in and slappin a 12v lp on the block and keep a "stock" electric down by the tank with better plumbing.... just my thought,

The 12v lp thought has crossed my mind, I've never liked electric pumps all that much. I guess to do that I'd need a new cam with the Mech LP lobe on it. Does the Mech LP put out the right pressure for the VP44?

The numbers in my sig were done with the Vulcan relocate/Big Line Kit. No fuel pressure issues.....until the pump died! Eric makes a great product and his customer service is top notch.

But since you are going with fours, I would look at a FASS as a minimum. If I had the choice ($), a cam and mechanical pump.

PS - Get the DDP injectors

Most use a regulator I beleive. Another option for a mechanical pump is the mitusa.

If you're not going mechanical then walboro would be my second choice. I did the vulcan thing and my pump died in 10 months. FP is fine, but I want to be done with electric pumps before this one dies on me too so I want the f-1 cam and fuel pump.

I've had the Vulcan kit on for quite awhile and no problems whatsoever. I don't think it's a bad system at all. I did it because I couldn't drop the money for the FASS like I wanted to and the Vulacn kit was a cheaper alternative. It has really impressed me. With all my mods it doesn't drop below 8psi. If you can aford it, go with the FASS. Just my thoughts. Good luck.
