I honestly don't think it is necessary as the pump (Like any oil or water pump) will last a considerably long time. The life-expectancy should be as good or better than any other component in the kit.

Ok, just a thought. BTW, you may want to write up a bit about the "timer for the oil pump" that you include in the kit, what it does and it's benefits!

I sure will. Rest assured, if it wasn't needed we wouldn't include it as it only adds to the over-all cost of the kit. As the L99 car is going together I will post up quite a few pics and info type posts for sure

Just scheduled a LSx-block build for our TT Kit so we will also have some low-compression 427 numbers in a SS soon

The engine will be a few weeks to get built but I will add pics of the set-up on this car as well once it is going all together.

The GT3586's and built tranny should make it an easy 9-second SS and he will go confirm it the day he picks it up I am sure

Nope, it is actually in the shop right now with a BIG 2-stage nitrous set-up but he couldn't resist the numbers the turbo's made any longer

He has seen the kit in person 25 times so it was a pretty easy sell

So, he's been drooling all over these kits?
So you think this is going to be nastier than atomicfusion's car?

Even the big boys are praising that build. When finished, you should put a video of that car in here as well.

We don't use Diablosport to tune here (We use HP Tuners for all our GM applications) so I would advise taking the car to a shop to have it tuned. We will supply a tuner if need-be but that is only as a service and not a replacement for a custom tune at a knowledgeable shop.

To answer your question I would not currently use Diablosport to tune a L99 car.

Jeff,
After stopping by your shop yesterday and seeing the parts you put in your kit, I'm very impressed. As soon as you get that L99 in your shop ready to take for a drive, I'd appreciate a call so I can have a look at it. I'm really starting to lean toward this kit!

Maybe my car Camaro can be the first TT kit you install in your new shop!

If you are close enough to drive to a good shop that builds kits - there is no question which you should buy -
