I live in the world captial of underground mining, so everyone drives trucks. Lots of eco boost and tundras around. I can't wait to finish my TT and put an ECO-BOOST sticker on it.

It's already feeding an engine which makes more power.

I'm getting 2 new walbro 255's that slightly different model which goes into the lightning fuel hat.
Pm me with a price and let me know what you have in mind. Yall are making my mind up for me lol

Well considering i already bought a 4v cobra oil pump it seems as though i need to find a 4v pickup tube to match, but also needs to work with an f150 oil pan. Started googling and found this http://www.modmaxracing.com/product_p/15125005.htm

Its pricey but who said we are on a budget? Gonna go up to oreillys and price out an f150 oil pan and if thats pricey too then ill just head up to the junkyard in the morning to try to find one.

Rockauto is your friend.. Ebay also.. More fuel is only needed if you intend on making more than about 400 to the wheels. I also dont see 2 255's supplying enough fuel to make 900hp on E85. My one GSS340 can only supply enough full to make around 380 to the wheels using E85. So 2 of them wont be enough. E85 requires alot more fuel. Giv you a idea in the difference. IBD's TT setup can get away with 79lb/hr injectors. To make the same power on E85, I would need 93lb/hr injectors.

Well rockauto has nothing for me, and ebay is more expensive than me going to oreillys and using my friends discount.
Just going to order this pickup tube and pick up a pan for $49.

Did you guys here about Mike from mad enterprise passing away? I just heard that from a fellow forum member. Has it been a while and how did it happen?

Edit: just saw on another forum he had cancer.
