I have a few questions on a fuel system, what i have is drag car 422 cid  sb mopar, 2100 lbs, powerglide, tranny brake,and a two step. Been running  mid 9s on gas. Converting to m5 alcohol. Fuel system now, 2 holley black pumps feed with 8 line up to a y block with #8 line, then #8 line to 5011 regulator and 2#6 lines feeding single carb. Do you think this is sufficient? Ant suggestions would be helpful.  Thank You...

Russ,

I'm sure your goal will be to run in the 8's....and your fuel system will not work. Methanol requires twice as much fuel, plus you will be running faster.

You must have a front mounted fuel cell. The Holley pumps may work OK for a while, but methanol will take it's toll on them.

The ultimate solution is a front mounted fuel cell with a Race Pump and a -10 inlet line.
