Why don't you just run a twin 255 lightning setup with an inline, it would be plenty

I don't think the feed lines on the lighting setup would pump that much. What are they 3/8"

I may be able to get by with the two 255's but worried about the lines out of the tank

Got some good news. Jim @ JDM Engineering has one of the flange & spindle assemblies left and is giving me a fantastic deal on it. Which is also good because the other guy I had pm'd has never replied to me. So its working out good [MENTION=64669]jferg92[/MENTION] & [MENTION=76903]fordmotorsport[/MENTION]. I'll have a complete caged setup on my truck.

Just be glad it lasted that long
Ya. I know I'll have some issues with a lot of the used parts too. So will be broken, some will crap out after a week or so just from sitting not being used.
Things will get worse before they get boosted lol
