i am running that carter that i was talking to you about(basically the duralift). the return lines are back to factory, and yes i was using the factory N/A tee.
Holy crap that is some EGT's. there was litterally nothing i could do to get them that high. i think the highest i saw was 900-950, but that was with pretty retarded timing. when i advanced the timing to roughly 7.5-8* the egt's never got higher than 800* on a hard run.
other than Russ i only know of one guy off the top of my head that is running the 60-1 wheel, or at least has run it. i will talk to him.
EDIT: wmoguy from obn is the one that was running the 60-1 wheel on his idi. quoted from him..."I thought it came on a little faster than the stock wheel. It had more pull in the mid range with the 60-1. I. could hit 20 if I tried hard. "

Yeah, I dont see any reason why the 60-1 upgrade shouldnt get there, but who knows, there is so little people out there running it, its hard to judge.
Like Ive said Eric, I wish I could help you more, Im just tapped out... If it were my setup, I would have gutted the thing by now and started over, but we all know I can be a little crazy in that realm, and not everybody is that stupid.
I havent checked in on your OBN thread in while, but maybe the experts over there have come up with something worthwhile, I dont know.

^someone could post telling him it's normal to be so loud if they wanted.i see him asking in the comments.
i think i might just run the oem mechanical lift pump while i was diagnosing.resolve any known issues before updating/modifying the system.
id probably move on with double and triple checking the timing marks and have the injectors tested then move on to the heads.iirc you did claim you heard the common back firing cuffing through the intake which is never supposed to be happening.so it's probably long overdue for a valve job.

yes, i have the carter on the frame where my other e-pump was. and yes that thing is quite loud lol.
injectors were tested last fall when i did the head gaskets. they were good. I haven't got that dull, hollow thump out the intake in quite some time.

I've always been told it's better to have the fuel pump as close as possible to the gas tank so that its suction run is significantly shorter than its supply run. Does this methodology not apply to an IDI's fuel system because of the low fuel pressure requirements?

More so because it is alot easier for a pump to push fuel than pull fuel. Your average pump doesnt like to pull very much. If youre within 4-5' of the tank and level with or below it you will be fine.
