So really thinking I need to change/upgrade my fuel system. Currently have the KB BAP. Never been a fan of BAP's

So a lot of options out there, LPE, Ragin Racing, Fore, etc. and then ECS kit which is appealing because you don't have to drop the tanks. But let me ask, how hard is it to drop the tanks? Searched but couldn't find a detailed thread about doing so, if I am going this far I might as well make it a return style right?

So this is good reading http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-f...-fuel-kit.html

Seems like going stock internal with external like AA or ECS is the way to go

Just ordered the ecs stage 1 kit. I will leave the BAP connected to the stock pump.

Looked at the install instructions and seems straight forward and simple. But if anyone has any tips or advise let me know. Thanks

Thank you for your purchase, we have a video on our youtube page of how to install our fuel pick up in the tank if that helps. The link to our youtube page is in my sig below.

Thanks Doug. chris sent the link prior to me placing the order and took car of me as I also ordered the alky kit and IAT intake set up. Looking forward to the UPS truck showing up.

Has anyone here added a meth nozzel before the SC? On another car, I noticed a cut of 20-30 degrees before the IC doing this. Still the same overall amount of meth being used.

Well winter hasn't gotten any better, which the only good thing about that is that I am waiting for parts. Hopefully I can start slapping this thing back together soon.

Thing that sucks about waiting is it allows me to change my mind or add things. Order new valve covers with relocation coil brackets, msd coils and wires. And looking at hoods

All, I've been waiting 4 weeks for my GM LS3 heads and no sign when they will be ready. Considering canceling the order with the current shop and ordering these. Relaize they may be over kill but I can use them later when I build a stroker, etc. Think these will work for my build. The 69cc and LS9 gasket should put me at 10.05 if I'm not mistaken?

Got my heads installed. Started installing the flip drive but ran into issues with the oil coolant lines to the radiator. The instructions don't mention anything about them. Guess I just need to move them. Anyone else run into this? Also need to lengthen the cam sensor wire/plug.

710/660 with no meth. Some reason the meth controller wouldn't power up. Will fix that and go back.
