Default Fuel Pump Install?

Is there an easy way to change the fuel pump in my 98 Vette?

I had a 2000 Camaro and was able to cut a hole right on top of the fuel tank.

Does anyone know if I can do the same with my 98 Vette?

Thanks,

Jason

Default 98 fuel pump

Remove the drivers rear tire. The fuel pump is axcessed right there. You will see it-It's easy. Make sure it is almost out of fuel when you remove the pump assy. to avoid a mess.

I think I might need one because when I spray nitrous(125wet shot), I get a bad lean spike(15.2) as soon as I spray. Then it slowely goes to down to where it should be.

What else are you thinking?

Thanks,

Jason

Fuel filter... This should be changed about every 10k to keep fuel pressure ideal.

You can also consider getting the NX acumulator. This will prevent draining the rails when spray.

I don't think the fuel filter has been changed...I will start there.


I looked on Nitro Daves website for the acumulator, but could not find it?
