Space,

...especially around the floor of the tank is TIGHT, and it would take quite an imagination to rig up a pick-up plenum in lieu of trying to configure 2 filter-socks at the same height/level of gas so that neither would constrain the float-arm or suck air at anywhere less than a quarter-tank of fuel.

But, my chief concern-- especially if one is contemplating parallel "super" pumps-- is that the GAUGE OF THE WIRE from the FP Relay all the way to the in-tank units would have to be beefed-up a couple of numbers to both ensure delivery of full voltage to the gerotors and prevent frying the harness... particularly when one pump runs dry for anything past 20 seconds.

At some point, the stock architecture simply won't support gas-guzzling like a top-fuel dragster!  Better to do a complete rework with a new tank, lines, wire-feed, and firehose-pump as they do on Horsepower TV....  Who needs that much gas for the street anyway? ...especially with the specter of $3/gal lurking at the horizon!

While we are talking about fuel pumps...how hard would it be to fab up a 
double pumper setup? What would be needed?

Stock sending unit.
2 255 l/hr walbro's
Some sort of Y adapter to hook both pumps up to stock sending unit? 
Would it NEED to be billit?
Relay to kick second pump on

Anyone got a parts list from the old ATR double pumper?

'05, but I'm not planning on racing, except the occasional stoplight Grand Prix.  I'm leaning towards a Bosch replacement pump.  Advice is welcome.....particularly if it comes from the one and only serovilo, grtyphoon, bullyhart, merk1993 or any of the other great contributors.
