Hey Josh….. Spoke with you last week about the bap issues and ordered a new bap. It came in and we installed it. Its still blowing the fuse. Looks like the fuel ⛽ pump is shorting out. So my question ❔ is what fuel ⛽ pump should I get? Keeping in mind that I am still going with a bap setup. Its a 2004 z06 with forged ls6, v3, 13lbs of boost and 99.99 meth injected. I believe its 650 rwhp.

Yeah…. I have stranded quite a bit. Thank God for AAA. Right now my budget won't allow for a new fuel ⛽ system upgrade. That will have to wait until my new budget comes in around tax season hehe. For now I need to replace the fuel ⛽ pump Anyways. So just wanted to see what I should buy.

LOL. Yup. I was about to reply on that fact. But I heard that A and A corvette had found a solution to that problem. I already have the racetronix fuel harness upgrade. Just waiting on being able to get ahold of Josh over at A and A Corvette.

I am needing to change my belt soon. I have the newer upgraded bracket, Does the head unit need to come off? I heard it does not but to loosen the 3 bolts on the inside of the bracket to loosen the tension. Is this correct information. My car is a 2002 vette. Thanks

Here is a cool tech tip. Using a 1/2" extension or piece of round aluminum can help lock the automatic tensioner in place and allow you more slack in the belt to get it installed or removed easier. This trick can be used on the bench before installing s/c or in the car before removing tension off the belt.

10 rib balancer
Okay my car is in the shop doing a 10 rib balancer keeping the 6 rib belt. I have 2000 C5 with 2 piece blower bracket and the balancer won't clear the bracket. What do I need to make it work? Bracket spacers to 10 rib and pullies for the blower bracket so they align properly? I am planning ysi with flip drive and 10 rib in the future but not at this time.
Thanks,
Robert

I just bought a '99 Coupe with your Supercharger kit and I must say it's the most fun I've had in a Corvette. The detailed information here just made me more excited, your attention to detail and craftsmanship is amazing.

Hey Josh n Andy, I ot ur 8 rib sec drive kit installed, fuel problem fixed, 99% meth going. Produced 580rwhp & 509TQ. However, my 9 month old Performabuilt level 3 4L60E trans decided it didn't like it. Even though the trans is rated for 800rwhp its torched, trans temp light came on and no more 3rd or 4th gears. No leaks, full fluid, just didn't like the reliable power that the 8 rib provided by getting rid of belt slip. They are going to rebuild it, but I'll probably sell it unless they pay for the labor as well.
Any recommendations on a trans? I am leaning towards RPM just don't know which level or just thinking of biting the bullet and doing the manual swap. Ive got the Z06 3.42 rear diff in to match whatever route I go.
