500 hp and stock lines

Im looking to run about 500 hp or so, with a TST MP-8 stack and water meth. With all supporting mods. The question that I have is with the jacobs brake that I have the vacume pump is in the way of a big line kit. So if i drill the banjo bolts and use the stock lines from the fuel filter will there be enough fuel without using the big line kit. Thanks Joel

Its not the break its the vacume pump that sits right buy the CP3. It sits so close that the big line kit wont fit. I called glacier diesel and they said that you just need to install a high flow banjo. There is a pic in my profile.

My lines from the filter to the cp3 are stock. I have a customer with a 06 and his fuel system is stock front to back and he is running 540hp and 12.60s. You will be fine at 500hp. Tim

Do not know if there is any truth to it but I have been told the big line kit is a waste of $ with a stock cp3, but I could be wrong, just a thought

The stock lines will do the job, a pusher pump will feed the CP3, after that worry about draining the rail. If you move to a geared up CP3 or staged CP3 you can worry about different size hose, untill then forget about it.
