We do not pre-package parts with our pumps.
Each application is unique so adding parts that a customer may not need is a waste of money. Some off-shore generic pumps come this way because they falsely assume one kit suites many applications. You are able to pick the correct parts for your application in our web store.

I meant the connector/pigtail that plugs into the pump.

With that being said, I haven't had a full tune because I don't have a fuel pump to keep up with the fuel demand. I have been out of the game, meaning I haven't kept up with any of the threads floating around in this section since then. So if anything new has come out within the last year for fuel pump(s)/systems, I have completely missed out.

So...I'm looking to make anywhere from 700-800 rwhp. I currently have a completely stock fuel system other than injectors, which aren't going to be big enough anyway. I need recommendations on injectors (brand & size) and a fuel pump(s). I know the last time I was researching this, there were a few who were doing twin in-tank Walbros, Racetronix wiring harness, some fuel line, and a couple of stainless steel clamps for under $300 supporting 1000 rwhp or so. It was also a pretty popular time for the House of Boost fuel system, but with a pretty hefty price tag. Lastly, I ran into Aeromotive's in-tank fuel pump as well, but from what I remember, you still had to plumb a full system in order for it to work. Right now funds are extremely tight, so I want to be able to replace the pump and injectors only, retaining all else.

Anyhow, so in short words, I'm looking for recommendations on injectors to support between 700-800 rwhp and a budget fuel pump(s)/system that will support the power mentioned above. I'm not looking to do a full blown system, but rather get away with just doing injectors and the pump(s). Any/all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
You could go and run +83lbs injectors and a 255lph walbro with BAP and be OK on the lower side of 700-800rwhp(on a centrifugal setup). Your still going to see the Fuel pressure drop once you hit the mid 650's though.

Or you could get all the parts below. And make your own Stage 2/3 full returnstyle fuel system with boost reference for fuel pressure and for the 2nd pump to turn on under boost for $925 in todays dollars. This list below is all the parts I needed to make it happen on my own with my GTO. My old 60lb injectors were handling 800rwhp on a twin turbo set up with this robust returnstyle setup w/no meth. I held over 80psi FP till 6800rpms @ 800rwhp with this fuel system. You don't even have to use the $150 aftermarket fuel rails. But It makes it easier since you don't have to tap into the stock rails, looks good too.

This will take you a good 8 hours with the help of a competent friend if you don't forget any parts. I can get Summit parts next day so that helped me figure this set up out on my own.

If you are skeptical about this project perhaps you may consider a complete drop-in, tested and proven dual in-tank system from Lonnie's Performance. Most Vette owners do not mind spending a bit more money to guarantee their motors will get enough reliable fuel considering their drivetrain investments.
This project is not that hard. You need to plan to be down for 1 week incase you find that your missing some parts. You may have to buy a few parts during the instal so be prepared for some down time waiting for summit parts. But overall with all the parts in hand it can be done in a full day.

-Make sure your tank is nearly empty before you remove it.
-The list I gave you is for a GTO but you can see how "KISS" the pluming side of it is.
-Get the ractronix harness, you'll have to run the power line from the engine bay. Throught the inside of the car.
-If you have a boost gauge you can tap it for a boost reference point for the hobbs switch.

You should read these threads before you decide to start this on your own.

Try mocking up the fuel lines before pulling the tank. This could save you down time. The exact make up of the C6 fuel bucket should be found on this forum somewere.

im not 100% because my ID1000's went from my fast 92 back to my stock ls2 so many times while i was trying to decide which manifold i wanted to run, but i think i ended up ditching the o-rings that came with the ID1000's and went with the orings from my stock ls2 injectors. i remember installing an injector and she would not give me that positive seal, changed orings and it popd it nice and secure.
