Walbro 400 in '03 Z06
I'm looking to upgrade my fuel system a little without getting too crazy or expensive with it. I'm currently running a stock pump with a BAP and it's right at the limit. i want to put the new Walbro 400 in, but haven't been able to find out what's involved. This is also one of the late style systems that's similar to the C6.
I know the bucket has to be modified to make up for the larger diameter, but what else is needed? Will the factory regulator handle the increased pressure? I'm trying to avoid running an aftermarket regulator or a return line. Anyone have experience installing one that can give me some insight?

he was the one that turned me on to the 400, but he hasn't done any with the c6 style fuel system. rich was just telling me a few minutes ago about how much of a pain your fuel system has been, lol.

NO, "ROB" otherwise I would of never recommended you! ROB from 'UNLEASHED PERFORMANCE" is the only one that has been great to deal with.
