    is there a cheaper way to get these or is this the going rate ?

    On my first truck I hose clamped straight to the fuel filter on the inlet side and bought a dorman male fitting for the outlet side and put a hose straight to it. You'll never get away with that on an NHRA track but it works on a daily driver.

    I can't recall for certain. This is the best price I've found lately as a package deal. I've been buying mine through SummitRacing as needed in individual pieces. Maybe LS3CC has a cheaper hookup.

    FWIW, since 2010 NHRA has put a rule in effect that you can't have more than 12" of rubber fuel hose on a race vehicle. Not sure if that includes high pressure hose like I run. They must own stock in a braided fuel hose company.

    i know this is probably a dumb question but i am not in the shop right now, what sizes and how many do I need? I did some research online and it "appears" that i need a 3/8 and a 5/16 for the filter inputs and the flared to an solid line fitting for the outlet. I am not sure what i need for the LM7 fuel rail connection.. how does one usually measure these - put a micrometer on the lines?

    also i am thinking of running an -6 braided line - is this suitable for a stock lm7 ?

    and finally one more question (sorry its been on the back of my mind) I see various posts for guys selling their walbro external 255 pumps over at ls1tech - this is the pump I was planning on using, but am wondering why so many are getting rid of theirs - since i "think" i might try to use the stock fuel tank, the walbro external seems like it would work. Do they not last or are they too noisy... just curious

    sorry i have zero experience with the FI stuff and trying to learn it as quick as i can so i can get this thing fired up
