    I've been doing some research to upgrade my series fuel lines to parallel. I drew a diagram that I think will work. However, I would like to get some of your opinions before I start fabing my lines.

    Am I missing anything?

    I have a friend in the chicago area that did something like this for his and acouple other scoobs, worked pretty well. He ended up machining some parts for it. I might be able to get some info from him or see if he can send you some of the parts he fab for a pretty decent price.

    That Y block looks nice. I'm assuming that a 90degree split would cause turbulence, and that is why aeromotive went with a 60degree?

    IF you're worried about turbulence you should be using larger diameter lines.

    yea basically he just fabed up his own y block... there were a couple other things he did as far as mounting of the pressure regulators and what not.

    Flow in fuel lines is fully turbulent flow always. A 60 degree fitting vs. a 90 degree fitting will make very little difference.
