Fuel system upgrade? & cooling system
I recently had a young man ask for help on a recent purchase he made. He purchased a TRANS AM that was modified with a bunch of equipment that was purchased from TEXAS SPEED and VENGENANCE RACING. The young man had a fuel pump issue and when he had it corrected at a local shop in Hawaii, the shop nor him knew exactly what was going on with the car and put a stock FUEL PUMP in the car. The car is equipped with the following:
TEXAS SPEED
- 402/408 LS1/LQ9 IRON STROKER LONG BLOCK - ITEM # 25-402IIRONLB
- COMP CAM CUSTON GRIND - 232/242 .595/.612 112LSA - ITEM # 4-CUSTOMCAM
VENGEANCE RACING
- LS1/LS2/LS6 1.8 ROCKER ARMS
- TRICK FLOW 215CC CNC PORTED HEADS 3.90 BORE
- VENGEANCE RACING FAST 96MM COMBO FOR CORVETTE
RANDOM ITEMS:
ACCEL 48lb Fuel Injectors.
These are the big items.
What do you guys recommend for the FUEL SYSTEM? BOOST-A-PUMP or a upgraded FUEL PUMP.
Also, what WATER PUMP do you guys run on these 408s and HOSE kits?
Really appreciate the help getting this car running again.

A nice in tank pump or should be plenty or the car if you are talking about the trans am if hewants the added security blanket a dual intank pump is not terribly hard nor terribly expensive to set up. look on ls1tech a user named mightmouse did a very nice write up on dual intank pump set ups that are homegrown.
