dual 044
walbro 400 (intank)
2L swirl pot
-10 feed
-8 return

will the walbro 400 supply enough fuel to the swirl pot to make the power?

It looks like it should be sufficient, if I remember correctly most people using a similar setup don't even run a 400lhp in tank but have the return coming off of rail to the surge tank. Then another from the surge back to the tank. I have never run one of these set ups personally so I may be incorrect

The return line from the rail runs back to the surge tank and then you run an overflow from the surge tank back to the stock tank. So it doesnt matter so much what pump you have in the stock tank. Me personally, I'd always run at least a walbro 255 in there but you get the point. With all of the return fuel running to the surge tank, it's going to overflow and be full. The only way I could see it being a problem is if you were WOT in 6th gear for like 30 mins straight, lol.

I used the fullblown kit wit aeromotive 340, 2000 cc injectors, -10 feed AND -8 return made 861 on 29psi E85... So im sure your setup is good for it.
