Well first a new cp3 is 800 without a core, the all the line that comes with the setup is High pressure line to hold the 26k plus fuel pressure. Then several of those fittings that come with the kit are incredibly hard to get ahold of. Then the controller is a unit that split the signal to the pumps so that they both run at 50% effeciency.

Add all that up with the convienence in one package and they can charge way too much for them:rolleyes:

Summit will not have any of the fittings you are looking for. None of their fittings are designed for high pressure.

you would need a high pressure fittings from a company like Swagelok or Parker. But be prepared to pay a boat load of money for high pressure stainless fittings. a 3/8" 316SS union (low pressure) is around 40 dollars.
