I have my FASS150 HD plumbed into my factory fuel filter and it works fine. I don't see why you couldn't do what you are suggesting.

Not to blow the mission and rabbit trail this early, but... out of curiosity just how much money would one save by going this route?

$200 or $300 depending on which pump configurations you compare.

Thats the route I went and works well. I went with the Fass 95gph it comes with in-line filter and then thru the stock filter

Well that sounds awesome. I'd been thinking to go Raptor, but I've been hearing it may not be the most reliable route and I need reliable. Use this truck for work, all over New England to the tune of 50K+ miles a year. I can't afford to have a pump melt down 200 miles from home. Never heard anything bad about FASS though, 'cept the cost of entry.

You can get just the fass pump for around $320 add the relocation kit for another $30 saves quite a bit over the total coast of using there setup! Plus when i change the filter I can buy a stock replacement and not the $40 fass. Thanks for the input guys this is the way im gonna go.

Yeah, I hear a lot of people bitch about changing the stock filter, and maybe I just don't know what I'm missing since it's all I've ever had, but I've gotten pretty comfortable with it over the last few years. Do anything 15-20 times and it's hard to not get good at it. I'm sure I'd love the added convenience, but I can live with this for the money.

Then get the metal filter top from Geno's that has the 1/8" threaded outlet on the top for the fuel pressure?

Lots of guys use the threaded banjo bolt for the inlet of the VP44 to measure fuel PSI.
