Just do it right and run AN line to the front of the car. Use -8 to the front and you can run -6 as a return. This will supply over 1000hp of fuel.

Good luck.
Thanks for the info. the stock fuel lines are already removed from the car and new an lines will be ran

Its been a while since i last updated but had alot going on. Ended up moving the project out of the garage at the house and rented a 2400sqft shop. I currently have the car completely stripped down and the roof off the car. I finally got my suspension back from the powder coater and will be making a complete bushing set out of delrin for the car, along with a custom tubular front subframe. I also got the ams wilwood lightweight front brake kit and D2 STM spec coilovers. Im ordering the ams carbon fiber roof tommorrow (tuesday) so should hopefully have that in a month. Also going to be ordering the CBRE cermanic hubs. Currently im debating on doing a tubular front rad support or just shave the bay.

Goal is now to have the car on the ground with all the suspension, brakes, etc.. the full cage with parachute and the car painted by end of July. I need to build a new motor since i no longer have the old one. I'lll also need to send my rear out to TRE and get the aluminum driveshaft. I also as of right now have a 6466 bb turbo but think i want a 6766 instead.. O yea i also picked up a jdm rear as well.

some pics

Got all the holes welded up in the engine bay, most the old paint removed and some of the body work done. Tommorrow plan to weld the motor mounts to reinforce them. Hopefully my cf roof will arrive in the next 2 to 3 weeks from ams.

WOW, those suspension pieces look MINTY! I would really love to do the same exact thing with my suspension and just replace ALL the bolts with new oem bolts as well as ALL the bushings. Good luck with your build man.
