I did swap to the 1350's once I got some real tire under it.

I like the C-16 cell being up front. Less work the pump has to do. I think it helps fight against the G's on the launch and the run down Broadway.

Good luck on your shake downs.
Thanks, im like 2700 lbs . The other truck went 6.0's @3200lbs on 275's with 1330's

I also took the -4 elbow and on the threaded side i drilled and tapped it for a Holley jet . I took the smallest brass holley carb jet i had and soldered it up then drilled a .042 hole in it . That runs through braided line back to the top of the cell . This is a return line to keep the regulator from "creeping" . I am hoping to keep the fuel pressure steady . Some say run return lines others say don't . Hope i didnt go to big on the hole i drilled .
