you can have a custom made fuel line made. but chances are you will have to adj your fuel pressure. as far as adding more batts i dont see what the big problem is here? more is always better?.

OWWWWWWWWWWW you said you discharged the cap!

Yeah, dont want to mess with the fuel line, maybe if she gets retired and is no longer a daily driver lol
The problem is that Ive never built anything with this much (6000+ rms) total power. No shame here, I blindly installed my system only to realize that my charging system couldnt keep up and I had to put out another $500 for an alt and big 3.....what it all comes down to is i want to be prepared beforehand.

I'm pretty sure more isn't always better. If you have an alternator that can keep both of the batteries charged fine it would be cool, but if you just have a stock alternator you can't just throw ten batteries in there thinking it will help. I think it will actually put more stress on your stock alternator trying to recharge all those batteries.
Big 3, H.O. alt., and then worry about batts...

  well thats why you do a charging test? no one said 10 batts in fact my car came stock with 2 batts org?  2 batts and a decent upgraded alt is fine.
