Oh yeah

well I finally got my electric fuel system in, and I am actually very impressed, I did the switch to get rid of the troublesome and leaky stock system, so the increase in power was a surprise, everything is still settling in and I have had to go back and tighten a few seeping fittings up, but that is much easier than pulling the fuel bowl to replace the lower hoses.
I know this topic has had a lot of coverage fairly recently so I won't go into the specific details of what to do, but I will share which parts I used and the links that helped me the most

fuel pump walbro 255 external pump
primary filter standyne fm100 33641
secondary filter fleet filter head 24770 with napa gold 3528
regulator aeromotive 13109
holley pressure switch and a summitt fuel pressure gauge

the only real 'tip' I have is if you use the standyne water separator, buy a 30 micron filter element, and then you can buy a second 150 micron filter screen that fits into the top of the filter head, basicly giving you a 3 step filtration process and the little filter is easily removed and cleaned so you only have to buy 1. this is a pretty straight forward upgrade, you just need to take your time and is takes a little bit to fab your mounts for everything, all and all it went well, like I mentioned before I have had to go back and snug up a few seeping fittings but other that I am extremely pleased with the results

here are the links

I did mine and lost power lol. New pressures the old system hadnt seen in ages blew the injector o-rings. But am very satisfied with it.

sorry to hear that Kevin, I have been running about 55 psi for awhile, and now I am set right at 60 so my pressure was not affected too much, I guess it is the fact that more volume is available, but it definitely runs smoother
