a mechanical holley street/strip pump probably flows about 100gph. NOt nearly enough for a 650hp supercharged engine.

I agree. Too big is better, that's why they make return style regulators!

I used an aeromotive a1000 pump and a 13204 regulator on my twin turbo 468 and it works great. I also ran 5/8 pickup and return fuel lines and built a 3 gallon sump in the fuel tank as the aeromotive tech advised. What are your afr's under boost?

I have no idea what my AFR's are.... i watch the plugs..
I do have a Air fuel ratio gauge from Autometer but its pretty much worthless!
It is possible the fuel line was heating up,,, because on my 3rd run the car was cooled down for 20 minutes and didnt act up on that run..but the following 4th run it was bad.Project JUST-N-SANE

First off- get a fuel pressure gauge, and watch it on a WFO run. See if and when it fluctuates before going to an uneeded mongo fuel line. Seing as you're looking at running more boost, I'd also invest in a standalone wideband O2; you're engine and wallet will thank you in saved parts & increased performance.
Don't forget to check simple stuff like making sure you're using the properly vented gas cap, etc.
As for slipping the clutch- standby to buy more clutches. Doing that will heat the crap out of them, then you're next few runs will be shiite. I'd say you need to look into tuning the rear suspension, or you'll be stuck around 2.0 60's. Caltracs, anyone?
