Hahaha...

. Well, if I had to guess and they are anything like mine........ they're freaking expensive ideas!!!! I could t come up with a cheap idea in a Walmart parking lot!!!

Facts.

I underestimated what building a turbo LS would cost. You could easily spend $1500 just on the fuel system.

and that's if you're just building 5-700hp. The Aeromotive fuel pump I'm eyeballing is $1800 by itself. I have no more emotions when it comes to spending money on this build. IT IS WHAT IT IS!! haha

Good lord! $1,800 for a fuel pump?! Is that a mechanical driven pump set-up? Would a dual 525LPH hellcat hangar assembly set-up suit this build? Those pumps together support well over 1,000hp on e85 at 60 psi.

Multiple intake pump like that juat aren't reliable. If one goes out, your car can still run but will lean out under boost and pow..... melt down. Na, ill pay to play and get the 10gpm Aeromotive. Im gonna play with M1 and my goal is 1500hp down the road.....

But what about when you're into 35 to 40 lbs of boos and you're calling for 105 psi with enough volume to keep a -12an fuel line full. I'm not comfortable with that many pumps and that many chances for failure.....
This is what those brushless pumps were designed for, big pressure, big volumes, big horsepower.
1000hp isn't that much anymore! Our tuner friends Cali Nate with "My Little Pony" is 1800hp and Ryan Mitchell with "The Firebird" is 1700+hp. My teammate with "Lucifer" is on M1 and 1320hp ....

And yes, I know I'm over building! It allows for WHATEVER upgrades the future may hold, and it gives me peace of mind when I'm balls deep in the throttle. I've watched all my teammates startout with multiple hanger setups and now are using the Aeromotive brushless stuff.... MAINLY because they lost a pump and leaned out! One pump means one thing to monitor and its pass or fail!
