I should be able to do that as well. ----------Here is the problem with E-85 testing.---------The actual ethanol content of e 85 varies greatly from station to station and week to week. Thats why most cars designed for e85 have to have a sensor to tell the computer what the mixture actually is at any given time so it can kep the AFR at a desired level. I will have to test the actual fuel I use and you may have to compensate for it. Such a problem really irritates me. Only the govt could come up with a program as poorly run as the e85 fiasco. Sort of like those "spill proof gas cans" that are sold everywhere. Its almost impossible to use them without spilling more gas than we ever did with the simple "old timey cans with simple spouts"

So I am not the only one who has problems with those things, good to know.

the new gas cans are another example of the Gov't "fixing" something...

My experience with DW has been very positive.................good to have one that is on the rise & hungry for new business.getdowngranny

Any information on how to 2 step the pump for use on stock lines?
I wouldnt run this pump on stock lines
The 300 yes NP .. dont suggest it with this pump

If you could step the voltage down until the car goes into a desired boost setting then give it all she can take while on boost, wouldn't it not be any different than running a dual pump setup on stock lines with a hobbs switch to run the second pump? Same desired result correct?
I wouldn't suggest it .. but again it's your deal
Dropping the voltage down is probably not the optimum way to control output .. a lot better ways to do this
The issue here is that this pump will outflow most dual setups easily ... the Dw300 is the biggest pump I would do on stock lines / stock return
you can certainly make mods to the stock setup .. wouldn't take much .. but I wouldn't do it on totally stock stuff.. not ideal

Correct, though depending on how the pump is designed, whacking the voltage like that may damage it.
The OEMs use a pulse width module to "pulse" the pump on and off to modulate flow. That's how all the new returnless systems work. Getting this pump to work on that principle would require a PWM controller.
Unless it's designed to handle running at reduced voltage, in which case a ballast resistor and a hobbs switch will do the job.
Correct .. weldon is a primary example of using PWM control
Best part about this .. a pwm controller is less than $50! And super easy to configure
So this pump is too big to for stock lines or are not ideal in other words. I guess I should through the thread again. I was thinking about getting this pump and trying to sell my Red Armstrong double pump, but I guess that is not such a good idea unless I plan on changing out the lines. Now would this include the lines that connect the fuel rail? I just replaced these with Kirban's reproduction ones.
First question you need to answer.. how much power are you trying to support??
The DW400 is ALOT of pump
You pulse power to the pump instead of supplying a constant power
I.e. Custom tailer when you need FULL power, full capacity of the pump
Its the shiznitz
Whatever I can out the 6265, I was hoping around 525 initially. Then I plan on stepping up 67 in a few years and shoot for 600. Some people have told me a single "good" pump with alky should be able to get me to 525. I want the fuel cushion that is why I sold my RA single pump and bought, not yet installed, the double pumper.
