I don't know if their prices are inline but I know the people personally cause they are about 3 miles from here. But anyway Check out Chassis Shop. They are dune buggy parts people but they have all of the teflon/braid hose you could need and the fittings. They also carry prefabbed lengths.
Speed Flex Pre-Assembled Hose at The Chassis Shop
I think their catalog is online too browse that its full handy stuff!

Ideally, I'd like to run -6 an to the slip and then regular Goodyear hose after the 3-way.

I looked through their website and it appears that the largest they carry is -4. I like the idea of having prefabbed hose like they offer. How long do you think the hose needs to be to go from the back of the heads to the 3-way?

I think 12 inches would be enough but its been a while since I have looked that close at the distance. I will see if I can look at my spare motor when I get work today.

Alright guys, just doing some thinking in my head. I have the major componets to the system except the fittings and hoses.
My questions are...
1) The OP talked about a fuel pressure switch. Is here referring the the inertial switch? With my setup I plan on running the oil pressure switch only which is possible right?
2) Because I have a different turbo mount I'm pretty sure my passenger fuel supply is going to be tight. I have to bend the factory line slightly in order to get the plate in. I need to check to see how much clearence I have, but if I can't get a fitting in there can I just run the stock line farther down? I would probably have to scratch the braided hose idea and just use Goodyear 30R9 with regular hose clamps. Perhaps remove the line and weld a little barb on it?
3) Still need some clarification on the wiring. Can someone explain the wiring diagram a little better? I'm electrically challenged. Lol.
The more I think about it I want to use the push-loc's instead of steel braid. Plus it's a little cheaper and it looks like there is several guys running this setup already.
I'm shooting to start this project on the 5th of March. Plenty of lead time so I can have all of my ducks in a row.

I wish I could afford this one right now.
The clutch and some other things come first.
I figure for me, i'll have everything around and setup, and if i get bored one day, maybe put it in, or just wait for mechanical to fail.

Saw this thread tonight from the "other guys." Looks like a great write up. Have to give credit to Rantheman for this one.

Hmm, thinking of the sensor setup.
The one guy put in the inertia sensor, and that is cool cause power = fuel.
but, I'd rather run the oil sensor as well.
But, i would also like to be able to have fuel pressure before cranking.
Could throw in a bypass switch for startup.
My other thought on it though, would be that the fuel would circulate in the system?
Will the return work with the motor off?

No, We talked about it in another thread, you basically elimiate the original fuel setup including the bowl and add in a better regulator, that regulator isn't designed for constant pressure all the time. Our system changes fuel pressure with the motor.

Eliminating the fuel bowl is the main thing with this system. The better fuel regulator will be better as well, you'll always have that good constant pressure on the system for better performance, as well as being able to tweak it to make your truck run the best.

William, if the oil switch is wired correctly, you will have power while cranking. I do, and my fuel pressure goes right up to 65 before the engine starts.

I ran "just the oil pressure switch and she works great

I ended up using my old steel lines and switching to rubber. Check out my webshots farm. i have an H2E and i was worried about running my pass side line. not sure if my pics show the rubber as i try to remember. they def show you how i got around the turbo
