I tried this "kit" and I will not recommend it. I know Fire67 is not saying to use it, but for what it's worth, I tried and it "sucks" litterally. I'm not saying Aeromotive is bad, but this kit is poorly designed. Basically it uses a small rubber hose in place of the stock pick-up and the A1000 is forced to suck the fuel from the bottom of the tank, over the top and down into the pump. This caused serious cavitation and fuel heating for me and many times the car would not start because of vapor lock after driving it for a while.

I ended up buying a new tank and building a completely custom fuel set-up that is not a sump (so it allows me to run a stock type exhaust system), but acts like a sump and works just as well. Never have had a cavitation or heating problem since. I still use the A1000 and will recommend it to anyone.

I understand the idea, but I will be going with a dual intank setup regardless of what lines I go with. I will have enough fuel to go with my boost :devil:

why is your oil pump shaft on back order? any parts store should be able to get one for you same or next day. Hell i know we keep one on our shelf.

WOW,

I can't belive they stufed a 78mm inducer wheel in a T series frame.
Good luck with the TN POS you bought. They can't size a charger for shit as far as I an concerned.

They kept telling me my tunning was all wrong for my truck and that I needed to go to a specific tunner. I sent them pages of data logs and they still said that I was wrong. 52 psi of boost with 100+psi of drive pressure.

Not to side track or anything. Your build looks awsome. Good luck with it all. Can't wait for some #'s and times.
