And, you will also need a regulator in the system.

When you read the description on Aeromotive's website, they make it sound like you just drop it in the tank and you're good to go... it's not that simple.
Yeep... i saw that... that is ok, We will be running -8AN feed, and -6AN return on the car now.

FROM YOU::
I probably won't spray over 300-350, so the plate would do that fine. Direct port is just the most efficient way to do it. Plus it looks sic!
