ZL1 fuel pump question - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Final numbers were just over 725bhp on the ZL1 pump without a boost a pump. If you are on the fence about the pump and a BAP, unless you are over 620rwhp with an LS3, you should be well covered with the ZL1 pump.

With the pump, the FIC 850 injectors were running @ 60% duty cycle and there were no fuel pressure issues.

I believe he was saying 725 to the crank

Well, how much is a ZL1 pump + BAP good to?

A_VAS · 07-13-2012, 10:01 AM

here's ZL1 pump assy, no BAP, resized LS9 injectors (72#)
just a tick over 600rwhp on our Dynojet
never fell below 58psi to 6800 redline

how much more can it go? maybe someday will push it harder but I can't say

I did my zl1 pump in the garage with the car on jackstands in 1 hour lol. Put a floor Jack under the diff and loosten up the sub frame bolts and lower it down a little and the tank comes right out. Ray Charles could do the job in his garage...

Well, that video pretty much says it all. The ZL1 pump does what it's suppose to do for most people.

Just make sure you run your gas tank pretty low, makes it a lot easier. ZL1 pump rocks!

Does everyone here use a fuel controller with their ZL1 pump?

I'm using the factory FPCM with my 2010 and I'm not having issues, but I know several people with 2012's that have to use them or they don't go into high speed mode for WOT. I'm not sure what changed, but something did.

JHall651 · 01-02-2013, 06:01 PM

If I get the ADM Fpcm will I have to change my tune to incorporate the fpcm or does the fpcm run off its own tune.

I'm pretty sure you will have to get it retuned, but I'd PM andy directly to verify.
