Sump VS. 5/8 Suction tube
Ok, so im upgrading my fuel system next. I want to run 5/8 fuel line to my lift pump and was wondering if it would be better to install a sump on the tank or 5/8 suction line. Both are bout the same price for the LB7 because of the $60+ stupid bulkhead fitting on the pickup assembly. I hear talk of 1/4 tank problems with the suction tube, but was wondering bout clearance/ slosh issues with the sump? Also wondering about which lift pump to use. I have an 01 2500hd with 5" straights, aftermarket down pipe( full open "mouth" off the turbo) cold air and bully dog gt tuner. I also just purchased ATS boost fooler to install since i just found out the GT doesnt prevent the stock boost defuel. In the future would like to instal BD drivers side exhaust manifold. I have all stock fuel system, thinking bout porting to .125" rail fittings and shimming the FPRV and running 5/8 line all the way to the CP3. Truck only smokes a little bit when i romp on it in the extreme tune(which i only done once since i still have stock tranny) so i know i need more fuel before i start working on air(PPE boost valve, ported intake horn. Any ideas/input/opinions and anything else but whinning are trully appreciated!

I heard on the lly lbz and lmm that the 1/4 tank issue isn't as much of a problem as it is on the lb7 since the stock pickup on the lb7 is "necked" down and has a harsh 90deg bend right at the connection.

Eventualy I will be adding new injectors dual cp3 and aftermarket turbo(or two) so my philosophy is making sure what I install now can still be used with my future mods. Another ? I have is what lift pump should I get and which should I stay away from? I'm leanin towards PPE but I hear bad things and am told get the raptor and also hear bad things. And IMO the extra filtration is nice on say the ad2 and fass but I can add filter housings and run HD filters for a lot less. I know they "remove air" from your fuel but if you have a + fuel psi in your lines after the pump then there shouldn't be any air not? My shop foreman and I had this discussion as well as a few others but it's nice to find people who might know things that others don't. That's how I learned, self taught by failures and word of mouth....
