I will have Mike send over instructions etc for you to review. Our pickup is a billet aluminum piece that has a -8an pickup and -6 return, with filter socks that pickup in the rear bottom of the tank. It is activated by a hobbs switch, does not drop pressure when the car is shut off (unless the stock pump has a problem of course) and can handle from 600 to 1200 hp depending on which stage you go with.

The stage 1 kit is entirely in the rear of the car so stock fuel rails etc still mount correctly, for a clean OEM install. Also the kit will not have fuel sloshing issue's like a twin in tank set up will cause. Feel free to call the shop if you have any other questions. 609-752-0321

My BAP is supporting 700whp on the stock 08 pump with no issues.. The car sees LOTS of long 4th and even 5th gear pulls and my aeroforce gauge shows no Knock Retard during any long pulls.

Very clean, effective, and the tank does not need to be dropped if you choose not to.
Doug,

If I was running a C6 LS3 with ECS 1500, ID1000 injectors and DSX Flex Fuel kit would this setup be able to provide enough fuel?

You must maintain proper fuel pressure to have consistent results, over sizing injectors to make up for lack of fuel pressure is a blow up waiting to happen, regardless of what kind of power it makes in a controlled environment like a dyno pull.

Our set up does not require the removal of the fuel pump for the stage 1 kit, but does require decent mechanical skills, as any fuel system work would.

You will not have to jam a fitting into the tank, which are common to leak, like some kits provide. We provide a complete CNC'd fuel block which has a #8 pick up feed that has two fuel sock pick ups in the rear bottom of the tank. It also includes a return that can be used later if you wish to upgrade to stage 2 later, without having to purchase another piece from us.

I will put up a separate post shortly on the kit with pricing, pictures, dyno results etc. All wiring-relays-fittings-hoses made to size already-etc etc etc are included, nothing else is needed to finish the install other some some basic tools.

Would installing this kit require a retune?

For what, the ECS stage 1 setup?

If fuel pressure is higher with the new system than it was before then you'll run richer @ WOT than you were previously. Part throttle will get worked out via fuel trims if there are any difference

It shouldn't need a lot of tune work, but it will probably need a once over.

If fuel pressure stays the same then it shouldn't make a difference (or at least not a large one)

I'm getting ready to upgrade the fuel system on my car for e85. I've had the ECS Stage 1 on the car and it works great. I'd be willing to sell you my ECS stage 1 once I swap over to the new setup has less than 500 miles of use.

The ECS stage 1 is a nice system. Ran it for a while with no issues. The bulkhead for the tank its by far the best way to accomplish tapping the tank.
