Got the injectors in this weekend. Next is the fuel pump and then complete the turbos.
Couple of questions from yall that have been here here, done this: 1) I saw that post (somewhere) where the guy went through the backseat and made a door, to do his fuel pump. I have searched and netted no results. Any tips on that? 2) Besides fuel system upgrades, any other mods suggested? Are those Hellion Headers better flowing, worth it? And I've read conflicting results on throttle bodies. Mine is stock. 3) Once I get the fuel pump in and the turbos completed, should I have it towed to my tuner? He's like 10 miles from me. Again, I've read many conflicting opinions on this as well. I've read everything from, "don't even start it," to "the brain will learn the new fuel setup and you're safe to drive a little distance." I truly appreciate all the advice and knowledge yall share. Thank you. |

1) Hahahah, "trap door" is about the only term I didn't search. I'll search now. Besides the obvious spark and fuel, why not eliminate 5 hours of work? Not meant in smart a$$ way at all, just curious.
EDIT - Just watched British guy video where he hacked it to $hit. I think you're right Drek, Ima spend the time and lower it. "Have fun guys, be safe." - FAMOUS LAST WORDS. 2) Awesome, I'll stay stock TB. 3) AUS 850's and Fore DP. I'll trailer it. Thank you for the help man, no joke.

DANG 760, that is legit!!! What are the measurements on that cut and door? I'm guessing you cut real light handed to avoid the wires and tank?
Now I'm 100% torn!!! I got two daughters under 10, I coach football and I'm now old and fat (thanks wife for your new skill of cooking). 5-6 hours of labor under the car is a lot for time for me. Last edited by GAFreddy; 08-08-2022 at 08:45 PM. Reason: Trapdoor |

I did this too. The door you can buy from Jegs or Summit or other similar places. The circled area in the picture is where the floor pan and tank touch or almost touch. I can't find my own posting about this...
The first time I lowered my tank. The second time I made the hole. Well worth cutting the hole. |

Man, so appreciate it. I think I'm tipping towards doing this. I'm not too far from a Summit. Ima shoot up there and pick one up! I think this would give me the real options to go bigger if I want, and have a couple hours into the injectors and pump. If done correctly, any downsides? Can't imagine it would be a structural issue. However, I live in an estrogen ocean, I tend to be wrong on a daily basis. If I spent half the day dropping the tank, reckon I wouldn't be too interested in ever doing it again! This could be a good or bad thing. Time will tell! I appreciate all the input from everyone. |

I'm gonna do it. I have a moderately steady hand, and like the challenge of NOT screwing it up. I get where the guys that are not for it, are coming from. At first thought, cutting into the metal over a gas tank seems like one of those things to NOT do, but seeing all the ones done well, I gotta try. This site is legit. I hope I can buy a round of cold ones for all the people that share their knowledge. It's incredibly helpful. |

Found the thread.
https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?p=9521534 To answer your question, there are no downsides. If you were super OCD, you wouldn't be considering it. If you ever have to change your pumps again for any reason, you'll be glad you did it. |

I have the best luck searching when I go to google or another search engine… Type in a few terms and it usually leads me right back here… I hope this helps…

Excellent! Very helpful! I was pondering snips, and it was confirmed someone else was able to do it that way, as well. I think at the end of the day, I’m a terrible “searcher.” All yall have been extremely helpful. I’ll be posting some pics this weekend of my end result! Wish me luck! Drek, if I screw this up, you’re more than welcome to take any and all pokes at me! |
