Fuel mod help!!
OK.... trying to figure out best bang for my $$$$
My next mods are going to be:
Fuel tank/pre pump mod
check fuel pressure and shim as required
then I either want to do the CCK or regulated return system...
For $$$ reason the CCK is very temping, but am I way better off going with the regulated return system???
Future mods will include dual HPOPs and injector upgrades....
So do I go cackle cure kit or regulated return?
Thanks!!!

Mr bob, since you are going all out(injectors) DONT skimp on the fuel system, you want to be able to feed those injectors..
I run the regulated return, or you can build a fuel system your self. Some people go all the way from the tank pickup to the heads, larger lines.

Hmmm...
One more quick question...
I should have mentioned that I am only planning for like stage I injectors... nothing fancy, for hauling a camper/trailer NOT sled pulling or racing....
I have looked at the DI and ITP kits, and they both look like good kits...
What exactly is the difference between shimming the stock regulator and the CCK, compared to the regulated return kit??? other than $400???
Thanks again guys!

So yes, you can get fairly close but I guess it depens on what you are trying to achieve.

There's a good fuel reg/system parts list on the DI Performance web site if you've opted to build your own from scratch. It's basically a parts list you can take to a Hydraulic shop that they can follow to build your kit. Buy your regulator, make your Reg bracket and your set for the install. I don't know if it's a cheaper route than buying one already built, but it does give you the option of different materials to fit a custom look you might want. Just make sure that you double check with the builder that the material you choose is Diesel Fuel capable hose. I personaly like, and will go with the SS hose. I like the look of the SS hose under the hood. Country

Personal preference is one piont. Cost is another point. And possibly some changes to the system that I might want. Unless you have the tools to actually build it from scratch, which would be nice. But who has the eqiupment much less afford it. Is it cheaper to build or buy? I haven't built mine yet, but everyone here that has put one together has followed some sort of guide line to build and assemble it. Unless you are Pop, Gene, or Kwikk. I could of dropped my truck off at a Diesel Tech shop, give'm $25,000 and said build it. And drive it home done. But whats the Point. I enjoy working on my Truck like most of us here do. I Also enjoy seeing all the customizing, changes & upgrades to old and new ideas. This is what has helped our riggs evolve into what they are today..JMHO.. Take Care Country
