I would never rebuild to go slower unless in meant improved driveability over a setup that had poor driveability/"street manners". Fortunately, there are only 2 things that I could change for better "street manners". Add A/C and overdrive gear. The car is a kitten otherwise the way that it sits now.
As far as design changes, having had the opportunity to put a few different kits together and the experience that I picked up with this kit, I would put less focus on symetry as I have noticed that it isn't all that important. I would offset the turbo more to the driver's side in order to open up a cold air intake option that is currently not available to me due to the proximity to the passenger side frame rail.
I finally got the new tank in. I went ahead and upgraded the feed from a -8 to a -10 and the return is a -8. Also moved the pump from the front of the well to behind the well under the bumper cover.
Here is the old set up. The car is a 98 so it had a steel tank and I had a friend weld a -8 nipple in the low spot.
My buddy Dave made me this tank. It has 2 3/4" NPT bungs. I had to use some brass fittings and reducer barbs in order to keep the cost down. The line coming out of the tank is actually a -12 and steps down to -10 right before the elbow going into the prefilter.
BonnarLS1 has a set of high imp 160# injectors that I am going to try and LS2Formula has a 3 bar MAP for me. I'll be adding those by the end of next week and then retuning for both E85 and pump gas. Then hopefully this pump will get me to 8.50's @ 160ish on E85.
