    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.
