ZL1 Pump, and any higher I'd add the ADM FPCM. Hell, might as well do it now anyway, you'll want more HP. Edit: I just saw you're in Philly, I'm right over the WW bridge. Who does your work? |

I had a BAP on mine at 650 rwhp and it would start dropping fuel pressure.

I was in SoCal for the past 2 years, that's where we built the car. My builder was 80 miles away, even though there were a few that were closer, I wanted to go with the best, so I did the drive. I heard some good things about RPM, but someone told me their tuner left and started his own shop in Pennsauken, but I haven't confirmed. There's 2 shops in NJ East Coast Supercharging & Tune Time, went to TT to get my suspension adjusted when I first got back. I've been talking with Chris at ECS about some mods to my Meth system, and actually my tuner/builder from Cali recommended them also. So I always believe that if you have someone that's good, honest, trustworthy, and knows your car, you go to them. Let me know what you wind up doing, but I think you'll be real happy with a ZL1 pump for about $275. You're fuel pressure should be good throughout the power band.

I used the ZL-1 Pump as Kronix mentioned with a BAP and had no issues 740+whp on my ECS SC.

http://ls1tech.com/forums/eastern-me...xperience.html I know there's good and bad and the web can be a f**ked up place to bash someone, but I have over $100K invested in my ride and cannot be a horror story. That's why I'll drive 100 miles if I have to for someone that I know won't F-up my car. |
