Well that ended in total failure. Get it all back together and crank no start. Checked fuel line, no fuel, and no pump sounds from the tank. I ran out of time, so dead she sits in my garage. Fuel pump sender is working, but I don't know why the pump isn't running. I even remembered to put the fuse back from when I cranked it sans fuse to clear the pressure from the lines. I go back to work tomorrow, so it'll be a few days before I can work on her again. That said, I'm likely to have it towed to my local speed shop and let them mess with it, as I just don't have the time this week to deal with this.
This is what I get for letting my tuner talk me out of a fuel pump booster lol.

You don’t want a booster if possible

so is there a setup out than can fuel straight E85 on a whipple setup? looks like a DW400 w/ Bap still runs lean on smaller pulleys with E mixes...

Most people giving it a serious shot run dual pumps and a regulated return fuel system. I have everything in place but the second pump...would be easy to add if I ever wanted to get stupid.

seems like Fore would be making some $$$ if they released a dual pump setup for f150s...

Dorian just uploaded his latest You Tube video from his Florida trip to the track. He was trying to run a mix of 109 octane and E85. It started to run lean before the end of the run so he had to let off.
I am not sure if he was running the stock pump with a BAP or if it was a DW400 with a BAP. I remember the mention of a BAP but I am unclear on the other. I had a lot of distractions while I was trying to watch the video.
