Default fuel system upgrades?

All,

I have officially reached the limits of the fuel system in my late production 03 Z (567 rwhp). I have the LPE fuel pump already. Does anyone out there make a complete aftermarket upgrade? I know a lot of guys have switched to the pre 03 fuel system but I was just looking for other options.

thanks everyone

We have used ECS fuel kits and have been pleased with install and results.

Have any of you guys with the ECS system run them continuously in the heat (e.g., 85+ degrees F with some hard racing)? The fuel system on my 'vert works flawlessly until it gets hot, then fuel pressure drops like a rock.

I just bought the ECS system and will be installing it on my Z06... here's to hoping it's as rock solid in Florida as it seems to be elsewhere

Tony when it's 85+ like it was the other day here I ran mine hard and my FP dropped from 58 to 56!

It's going to happen with any fuel system when it gets hot, it's all a matter of physics.

58 to 56 is OK by me. After racing the car hard tonight (old fuel system) I had a drop of 58 to 20. Oops. Shut her down and wait.... then restart when cool. Then cry.

Grab fittings and aluminum hard line in place of SS hoses and save a ton of dough and the need to do it again later. Just use the hoses to allow flex for motor torquing though.
