I haven't heard of any increase in gelling with the in-tanks done. But it definitely made a difference in how the truck sounded. I'm finishing up my coffee now and will head out to put the RR on shortly. I'm very curious what's going to happen. One other thing is that I need to check my filters. They may need changed. I have extras ready to go in, so I'll try the RR first, then the filters. If it's still dropping then it'll be time for the Walbro.

At least you know where you'll stand. I have a feeling the RR won't improve things that much over the fixed orifice.

Not to sound like a broken record but could you tell any difference between running the booster or not? Once I get my fuel system striaghten out, my next step would be replacing my sticks and thinking of going stage1 single shots.

Also, I had the A/F separator on there at the same time and couldn't tell what made more improvement. I put the CCK on when I removed the separator and saw no loss of performance. The two systems did the same things, but at different points in the fuel system. I do know that my truck is strong in the mid to upper power ranges and doesn't seem to be lacking for fuel. Got to watch on wet roads with my new Truetrac differential. I sometimes break the tires loose at 50-60 mph.

I did that once with my old 250, hit a patch of black ice, did 3 -360 spins down the middle of the highway, hit rear bumper first in the snow bank piled alongside the road, spun back around the other way another 360 and ended up backend into the snow filled ditch. Didn't hurt the truck any, sure cleaned all the junk out of the bed, scared the hell out of my wife, but she needed that, and lucky the only other vehicle on the road was behind us watching the show.

Okay, so I got the RR done. Some improvement, but now a new problem. Instead of hijacking, I updated my original thread here:

I tapped into power similar to mueckster utilizing a relay.

On fuel pumps, use what you want, i like Airtek E2236,rated to 110 psi.
Available thru Autozone,Advance,Oreillys, etc.
Airtek has several models available.
