[Supras] Whipping noise, throttle control, stock fuel

I too have a hard time seeing the stock line under the car not being
sufficient for the majority of people's demands. I recall trying to
source pieces of 10mm line when replacing the pump and filter as the
filter bolt was seized and had to be cut. It was easy to find 3/8" line
as many Domestic cars have this fuel requirement but evidently not too
many metric cars have the demand which made it tough to source quickly
to make a proper repair. Ended up pulling the line from a parts car.

Seems to me that TCCS would hit fuel cut long before allowing enough
volume to run lean from lack of fuel.

I removed the FPD on my car but about the only original piece left on my
fuel system is the fuel rail itself.  Others have drilled/enlarged the
holes which you may look in to if you want to retain it.  You might look
at the lines between the tank, filter, and hard line.  Seems to me one
of those was a restriction too.

Just to give you an example, we've made over 500rwhp with most of the
above mods along with 550's, aeromotive afpr, and a walbro pump.

Also, are you sure your fpr is working properly?  The diaphrams have
been known to break down esp with higher pressures.
