Phill,
I placed a call to FITech today to get the specifics on your new FI system. Tech support was literally a 30-40 second wait on hold, amazing! The tech instantly answered my few questions and was super well informed on their products, again impressive these days.
Your system requires a #6 AN fitting on both feed and return lines with 3/8" lines. Their kit they sell with pump uses all soft lines. They want the fuel filtered to 30au(microns). They use a 100au prefilter and a 30au between pump and TB. We can do your system in two ways.
1. From tank to filter in soft line with twist lok style fittings, then soft line to hard line on frame rail, then from hard line to TB with soft line. You decide if you want to use prebent "factory replacment" hard lines or bend from a coil of 3/8" steel.
2. From tank to filter to TB with soft lines like they do.
I have done it both ways. Its your choice. I now have complete pricing so I will just have to add it up when I know what you want. The fittings are all USA made by one of the 2-3 USA AN producers. The sort line is Russell or Precision Performance, both NHRA rated. Fittings are available in Black or Red/Blue, the line is either black or blue, you choice. There are a few choices in filters, trick billet cleanable type around $65-$100 and the "factory" type steel ones that are a use and toss about $20-25.
Just to give you an example, our complete system with filter/regulator unit for factory FIsells for $149 including filter/regulator and all fittings & lines. This will not work since you have regulator on TB but a comparison to others kits running $200-$300. Note, we do not use the LS1 filter/regulator like most as the pressure is to high around 58-60 psi. We use one from Mopar that is the correct 48-50 psi specified in Dodge FSM. Our system is plumbed like this rather than dual lines. With the $149 line kit and the $450-$500 tank/pump kit, its a lot cheaper to have a complete new fuel system these days. :cheers:
