    you can use that holley pump to fill you surge tank. then use another external pump fed by the surge tank to the engine.

    vl seems to be the most commonly used external pump

    Double up on what Gilly said. I've spent so much time doing my fuel system it's not funny, between design and implimentation, and it should be all finished off this weekend. Since you're in Capalaba dude PM me and I can run through what the dealio is on my car if you're keen. Like, show you on the car and everything, since it's all naked at the moment. I'm running a 110L/h lifter pump to my surge tank which is Rocket Industry supplied, then have an external Walbro 255L/hr under EFI pressure to the rail. Piping is a bitch since there's a few ways you can go around it, but I'm certain I've got it down heaps good.

    Can go through it with you the way I did it, and other ways that work but probably aren't recommended, pro's and con's of everything, probably cheaper ways of doing what I did as well.

    Where will it stop? Will it ever be finished? How will it go? Why am I not wearing any pants?

    Probably not, but same road, haha. Down the Capalaba end.

    EDIT: Which domino's you talking bout? The Capalaba one, or the Birkdale one?
