Default 428 2X4 Fuel Plumbing

I am changing my fuel plumbing on my 428 w/ 2X4 carbs. To begin with I have relocated my Fram fuel filter from the engine bay to the rear of my car above my fuel cell. I have changed electric fuel pumps from a Holley (97gph) to the Aeromotive (140 gph). So now my fuel goes from from my fuel cell to the Fram Fuel Filter to the Aeromotive fuel pump and is carried along the frame via 3/8" steel tubing and up to the fire wall. At the fire wall I bought a Moroso three way fuel block that splits off via AN-6 fittings and braided SS hoses to TWO Aeromotive Fuel Regulators. From the Regulators the fuel is carried to each carburator via additional AN-6 fittings and 3/8" braided SS hoses.

The reason for this change was that during race conditions at Road America I believe I was starving my engine. The good looking 2x4 fuel log I was running is fine for street use but I think it is inadequate for race conditions. Does anyone have an opinion or suggestion on these mods.

With this group I know I am asking for trouble by asking for suggestions or OPINIONS. But I am especially interested in those of you that are running 2x4 carbs on a FE that has competed in some track events.


Thanks,



Clois
