Without getting into too much detail and drama... I worked for DMS for almost two years. I brought my products into the company, and when I quit, they opted to sell their own version of everything based on what I did.

My kits now are 100% push connect meaning no wrenches required. I still use 316 stainless tube that's flared with an aircraft grade tool to burnish the sealing surface. I've also been able to substantially lower the cost of doing it all by speeding up production significantly. I've been doing these for over four years now after having ECMs sprawled out on my dining table looking for the input pins using a signal generator I programmed and built.

Thanks for clearing that up. Good information. When I buy, I will buy from you. I am just really debating on what to get. I've seen other people with more mods than me use the flex fuel sensor with full E85 without issue so I am hesitant to get the extra pump if I don't have to. I really wish I knew for sure if I was going to need it or not

You can always try without and add it later.

I know this is random but I'm getting more and more eager to order this kit haha. What kind of job is installing new injectors? Is that an easy DIY or nah? I've never messed with the fuel system before and my Camaro is the first car I've really worked on myself so I'm learning as I go haha.

Crash and DSX great info...I really appreciate you guys taking the time to break things down...Thanks...

The crappiest part about swapping injectors is grinding down a boss on the SC lid to access a bolt... otherwise its just unplugging some wiring harnesses, hoses at the sc, few bolts, and d/c the fuel line

I'm actually NA LS3 haha I was just creeping on here because I was curious. So should be even easier for me then?

DSX Tuning · 06-17-2017, 06:42 AM

LS3 is super easy to handle an injector swap. It is maybe a 10-15 minute job.

What injectors are you thinking about??

ticowarbird · 10-01-2017, 09:27 AM

Was talked out of doing this due to fear of how much a stock bottom end can handle. I have the ZL1 fuel pump, and a Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump from ECS. Last dyno numbers were 633/554 and that was at 8 or 9 pounds. Kinda rethinking their warnings lol

L99, stock bottom end before I did my forged. 681, 636 RW on the stock L99 - and I road raced it. All in the tune. Sure, you'll need to take all into consideration but, it is very doable...

I just bought into my tranny swap, zl1 front bumper, and rpmrollbar... I'll ask some shops closer to me about getting in it for a quick tune while I'm in town.
