Matt @ FSP · 01-09-2013, 10:08 AM

I am going to keep this thread updated as Rodney is installing the Squash 1400HP Return-Style Fuel system on our shop car. I'll keep this thread updated as we progress through the installation.

Squash Fuel System Dual Pumper
- Return Style
- -8AN Feed, -6AN Return
- Aeromotive A1000 Regulator
- Squash Fuel System Harness w/ Hobbs Switch

The build that it is going on (Motor-wise) is as follows:

- LRB 417ci Shortblock (LS3 Based)
- PRC Stage 3 CNC LS3 Cylinder heads w/ SS Valves & .675 Springs
- ECS Bigger Blower Camshaft
- ECS Supercharger Kit 10-Rib, Paxton Novi 2200 (~18-19psi)

And away we go...

Same here. Let me know how the install is, compared to installing an LPE or ADM.

K32 Camaro · 01-09-2013, 03:18 PM

Does the size of the fuel lines affect fuel milage?

lexlueger · 01-09-2013, 09:14 PM

LOL. Sorry bud you make the mini-skirt look good, us guys have to wear large baggy clothing because we do not have the curves like you do.

lex: None at all man.. Just wanted to change up a few fittings up front and have some other goodies coming in.

Supercharged SS · 01-09-2013, 09:53 PM

Matt, just to be clear, this is the return style system, correct?

Have you heard anything on the returnless style and what the max power level that will support?

Yes this is the return-style...

The returnless Andy is still working on the FPCM part of things. Not as simple as it seems when bringing electronic control into the picture with stock ECU... As soon as I know sometihng I'll let you know. We signed on to be a dealer for Andy's products the day I opened my fuel pump up. I knew this guy meant business!

Don't worry bud, through an unlocked converter with my stingy ass dyno I won't even make as much rwhp as you do... However, at the track the E/T is the proof hehehe. All in good fun man this Squash system is really nice, Chris82 will enjoy it and Vanq you should get one. Doug and I discussed the Squash a bit today on the phone also. I am almost regretting not going for the larger pumps, I have a little something in store for the fuel system.

Yeah it's all in the ET. Mine needs driver mod lol

yeah so I hear its quite nice I was looking at the fore systems as well. Only reason I haven't fixed the fuel in my car yet is I have been waiting for the returnless fpcm. But I hear the return is a better system for big hp?

stangkilr · 01-09-2013, 11:18 PM

Going to install the same setup on mine next week once I get my car back.

Good to here. Are the guys at ECS gonna have a fun time installing it, or is it pretty straight forward? I'm counting down the time till I can bring my car to them. BTW, after talking with a couple of VIP, I ended up going with the Eaton TrueTrac and Chris is getting the billet caps.

Straight forward. I hope you purchased the full wiring harness with hobbs switch it just makes it so much easier! I was speaking with Doug yesterday concerning it told him its been going great so far. ECS will get that thing in there and squared away. The nice part is they have the full stock on the hoses, AN fittings, etc. because depending on how you complete the installation there are various ways of routing the AN hoses/filters/etc.

The only thing I am doing differently than the wiring harness would route to is where the relays mount. I already have the fuel pump lead wire ran into the trunk for the old Aeromotive system, so we're going to mount the relays in the trunk. Rodney is just switching up to the truck mount because with my cage in the car taking apart interior panels is like

Chris82xx · 01-10-2013, 08:58 AM

Good. Yea they sent me the hole kit-n-kaboodle. It's got all the fittings, hoses, and wiring, hobbs switch. When I bought it, I specifically told them that I wanted it so that it could be installed without me going to the store to buy something extra that didn't come with it. They took care of me. I just don't want any surprises like Chris or Doug calling me up telling me that there are some extra things that they need to buy to make it work because it didn't some with it. I'm not worried about that however, Squash sent everything.
