[Diy_efi] schematic critique

it has a venturi valve, designed for a pump that can flow enough fuel for 
300rwhp, and that certainly won't work when fuel flow has been increased to 
two pumps that flow enough for 500rwhp each, it increases base pressure way 
too high because of its restrictiveness.

its quite a ghey setup, but what can you do but try and beat it?
