Re: In-line Fuel Pump Question (Gus)
Gus,
Yes. The high pressure/volume trex pump will work as an inline/"booster" pump.
Here's a write up from awhile back: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=152762
Be sure to take the time and try to find the nylon hard lines.
I've had to replace the high pressure rubber lines that I used already. They just don't hold up...

Gus,
Actually, The local Pep Boys can get them here in CA with the quick-connect fittings already on the one end.
I'm sure any national parts chain can get the hard line with GM quick connect fitting for repair purposes. When I get home tonight, I'll see if I can find my info on the manufacturer...

Gus,
Just to follow-up:
The nylon hard lines are labeled as "GM/Chrysler Nylon Fuel Line Repair Kits" and are made by a company called Dorman. They come in various sizes and I would think just about any national parts chain could get them for you. They are a little pricey about $15 each but I think they are worth it to avoid having to redo the setup as I did because of a ruptured line - I'm sure Godspeed would agree...
C5Noir,
You can probably do it for $225 if you shop around.
Rough estimate on costs: $125-175 for the pump. $30-40 for the hard line, another $10-15 for the fittings, $12 for the thermo blanket, $30 for the filter , $20 for the wire, relay & fuse...
