Default Thinking about upgrading my Fuel System - Input Needed

After a recent fuel system failure, I am thinking about upgrading. I currently I have the LPE pump and KB BAP supporting 584hp - A&A V3 Si

Is anyone out there using UPP's C5 Fuel System?



http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-f...el-system.html

From what I read, it appears to be a quality and well built kit.

I think I read an older thread that Clown was using this system. (If you are, let me know your thoughts...)

I am making 584hp now with my V3 Si kit and may upgrade to a T trim one day. Will the UPP fuel system handle my current needs and allow me to grow into the T trim blower????

Any information on this system is much appreciated. My other choice is to bite the bullet and get the A&A Fuel system ($1100).

Decisions decisions.......

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks

I have UPPs secondary fuel system in my car that was installed in early spring with the Bosch 044 pump. I moved my KB BAP over to the secondary system and it kicks on at 5lbs of boost via hobs switch.

Nice system at a nice price, now my fuel system will support 900hp or so with the meth. Add a nice set of fuel rails to complete the setup! I say go for it, you will be pleased! here are a few pics

Your system looks sweet!

I noticed that the regulator and lines are routed on the passenger side. Is that the same for all C5's? I have an '02 and the in tank pump is on the drivers side.

Did the kit come with all the electrical parts needed for plug and play?

Do you know if the fuel lines can be routed through the rocker panel instead of the trnasmission tunnel?

Where do I connect the fuel pressure gauge sending unit that is now connected to the schrader valve on the factory fuel rail?

Custom Built Motors (CBM) in Rancho Cucomonga CA.

They normally come chromed, but I ordered mine bare steel to have them painted to match my car!

These are the only option if you have anything other than stock fuel rails and upgraded fuel system that looks good!

I looked at that kit but want it to route like the A and A kit up the side. I also didnt like the rubber return line, rather have ss braided the whole way even if its a bit more. Aand A also come in at 3 psi which I like. There is also a duel pump upgrade that A and A has thats not on there site yet. I know its alot but this is one area where you want to do it once and do it right.
