You can connect two pins of the fuel pump relay to make the pump run

I've heard installing the bulkhead thing is harder then it looks but it doesn't look that bad

ECS kit comes with preassembled lines now so that should help

It's not difficult at all. Just take your time and you won't have any problems.

Well bulk head didn't look too hard, just time consuming. Ill might have a surprise though! What if i drill the hole, and let the driver side tank empty in a oil catch can. There's no chance of sparks, and the passenger side one shouldn't drain as well, is it??

The passenger side won't drain. Depending how full the tank is you can just let the driver side tank drain into a bucket after you make the pilot hole.

Thanks sir! Im below half tank on the gauge, so ill drill the hole with a pneumatic drill and let it empty in a tank. I think that is the easiest way.

Half tank should mean passenger side is mostly empty, driver side mostly full.. it'll work fine, just make sure you have enough to catch that much fuel

A big shout out to Matt at FSP for all the awesome service BTW!!
How did you determine that? I was under the impression all GS had Z06 pump??

I'm at 651rw with just a bap and 60's, no meth. No drop in fp.

The thought of drilling the fuel tank makes me so freaking nervous that I probably couldn't do it. What are the precautions taken to ensure there's no spark anywhere. I know drills tend to make a little bit of spark within the motor. Fumes would be the danger I assume.

Used an air drill. Electric would be a bit nerve wracking for sure.

I decided to start smoking when I did mine. Wanted to live my life on the edge

I used a regular cordless drill, my air drill chuck wasn't big enough to for the bit I needed.

2 VERY VERY trustable builder assured me that GS does not have LS7 pump. With that said, i will make more power than that, because of the 3,25 pulley and restrictor out. so i dont want to be on the very egde of the pump north of 700whp with meth.

What pulley did you ECS kit come with? Mine came with the 3.25 pulley, but I have heard other people say theirs came with 3.5.
