Scotty, I would say let it help the in tank pump when you go into boost. Along with the A1000 coming on when in boost...Robert

If you are having NO problems, leave it as is.

Get rid of that. NO need for it. Mine worked fine at 12v but never went to overcharge.

No problems I'm just worried the boost a pump will burn up my in tank pump and its a 2004 c5 you have to pull the transmision out to replace the pump

If the BOP is hooked to the A1000 when in boost leave it hooked to that.. I sure wouldnt chg it up when it is working great and you know it is...Our motors are about the same and I am only running the A/A fuel system about 1100.00 for everthing with the 40amp kenne bell BOP on the car. Working great from day one..Robert

Pulling the cradle dont worry me any more. I think dealing with putting a new pump in the tang making sure ever thing there was correct would be worse to me.

No.big probloms with the fuse holders having a loose connection and flaming up.When I used one I installed fuse and crimped the connection for it.That's a lot of amperes through some small wires.

True I had a msd bap before this KB and it melted the fuse holder too!! so u think the in tank c6 zo6 with the hot racetronic wire kit and the A1000 is good? wonder what the limits would be like this car dynoed 900rwhp but my trap speed says less

You dont need to drop the trans to get to the stock pump. Its in the tire well. 30 min for me to have it out.

OP has a 2004.

03.5 and up have the same fuel system as a C6. Please be careful what you post up, someone searching in the future could come across the post and become misinformed.

That is true about some of the BOP but the Kenne Bell never had that problem that is why guys where pulling the msd one was bad for it.

that sounds good but I'm not really sure how much hp I'm making u say your @ 850rwhp and u trap 135-138mph with a stick they trap higher and my dyno was 900rwhp and I trap 143-145mph with my auto now with that said some of the guys on here say I'm only @ 750-800 rwhp because of my trap speed I have seen my car make 10 pulls in the last year all over 900 so I'm afraid to unhook the BAP if that's true It may be the help my fuel system is surviving on
