two pump trick

I seriously can't get anything out of a search.

Whats the two pump trick and why is it so top secret? I figured this would make a good FAQ

I am curious about it also. Does anyone even know how much the stock pumps will flow? And then how much power they can support with the 'two pump trick'?

My truck made over 620 rwhp on the two pump trick coupled with a 255 inline. I'm sure that has to be at the limit of the stock 125lph intanks.
Basically it triggers the second intank when going into boost by way of a hobbs switch.

Wow, did not realize they can handle so much power. Who sells the kits to do this, or is it even that hard if I built my own?

There are no SV's that build these kits anymore but there might be a diagram in my gallery if you wanted to build your own. If you want further more precise intel on the subject join the NLOC and I'll send it to you.

Superglide: Thanks a ton. I assumed that was the case wanted confirmation. I can figure it out easliy from there.

Did you delete the plastic canister with the install of the 255? In the (little) info I found guys were talking about it being sucked dry on higher hp trucks.

Can you send me the info?? I already have it done but want to understand what is happening due to the fact that I am new to the L world. And could you use a 255 in tank pump like one for a mustang to replace the stock 125lph. Thanks

The most anyone has gotten to work as an intake in a L is a 190lph. The 255 will suck the FDM dry as it can not keep enough fuel in it.
