ZL1 Fuel Pump in 2010 SS?

[PQ]

Ok so I've cut my door to swap pumps. Can I buy a ZL1 pump and drop it in or do I need the other goodies?

Should be a direct replacement as far as the pump goes, but in order to command the ramp up for the extra fuel pressure, you need ADM's FPCM and to have it turned on in the tune.

You need a new fpcm. Updated tune, and then your set.

Ok.

My pistons just got coated so things will start to ramp up fast. I am putting bigger injectors in as well. So it is going to have to be tuned before I can drive it anyway.

Why the need for a FPCM?

*I'm sure this has been asked but consider it a bump in info, haha*

The stock fpcm assumes a stock pump so you won't get any advantage. The adm fpcm is a customized zl1 fpcm designed for the zl1 pump. It also allows the BAP to work unlike the stock fpcm.

Just dropping in the ZL1 pump gives you a 30% increase in fuel flow at the same voltage. Then you can get another 30% more flow by upping the voltage to the pump.

So then my current BAP will not work unless I swap FPCMs?

If I understand here, the ZL1 pump will only provide the levels of performance that a stock one will if I use the stock FPCM? Is not a more powerful pump just that, more powerful? Regulating fuel pressure doesn't change from an operational standpoint does it?

That's without a new control module?

In order to take advantage of the pump fully you need to replace the FPCM . Its a simple plug and play. Then when your tuned they can make proper provisions. Youve gone this far finish it right!

MSD BAP works great when hooked up correctly with no need for a new FPCM. If you didn't already have a BAP then the FPCM is a cheaper way to go and it is also a voltage booster.

Just dropping in a ZL1 pump will increase flow ~30% by itself. That is both the increase GMPP claims and what we have tested. Running it to higher voltage is where it shines though.

received my zl1 fuel pump yesterday, and ordered the fpcm module today not taking any chance with drop in fuel pressure when get the 2.9 whipple on my ss next month.

Sorry for the delayed responses guys. Been crazy busy.

But if I wanted to be able to just drive it to the tuners I can drop the pump in and ease down the road correct? Then get the FPCM?

Ok, so I can use my existing BAP correct?

How much is the FPCM?

Yes, your BAP will do great things to a ZL1 pump.

The FPCM is like $200-250 but you already have that covered with your BAP.

Oh cool. So drop in and tune.

Awesome.

I would like the measurements too...
