The preferred mounting position is with the motor up and the pump end down, but it can be mounted horizontally or vertically. It is okay to mount a Weldon Pump above the fuel tank / cell – they can lift as well as push the fuel. Do not mount a Weldon Pump at a 45 deg. angle – this will cause an added load on the motor and pump bearings.

hope that helps

Does anyone run a full blown dual hanger with (2) AEM 320s pumps, -8 Feed and -6 Return with ID 2000's? I'm just wondering what this setup would allow me to make on Ignite E85 and C16 race gas

Good to know. I'm still on the fence about fuel but I'm more then likely going the Ignite E98 route

Add a sending unit or figure out a dip method through the fill tube.

Ditch the a1000 and get a 5-10 micron for after the pump. Why a 2 gallon ?

Yeah you'll need a pre pump filter to protect the pump and a post pump filter to protect your injectors.
I've heard alot of bad things about the a1000... crap pump imo. Check out weldon or Magnafuel pumps. Pricey but nice

Generally speaking pump manufacturers have recommendations for such things. Choose a pump and ask them. Weldon's recommendations:
http://www.weldonracing.com/faq.phtml
Number 9

Some people recommend running a 6 micron pre injector. I'd ask whoever manufacturers your injectors instead of some random people on a forum... just saying

Fuelab 6 micron before the injectors after the pump. I run a 50 micron before the pump. Running Magnafuel MP4303 and it's been a great pump for me.

this might be a stupid question, but I'd still like to know the answer.

Aside from simply just bigger being better, are there any other reasons to upgrade fuel feed and return lines from factory to -6AN? The setup in question will be about the 425hp mark.

I also see fuel line upgrades that only take place in the engine compartment. I don't understand the reason for upgrading these sections of line that are in the bay aside from aesthetics. Anyone care to elaborate?

Larger lines higher volume of fuel flow. Stock lines will be fine for that power level. If doing aftermarket cell or sumping the tank you'll have to run lines.

More volume dampens injector pulses more effectively, but unless you're running really big injectors I wouldn't be too concerned.
