Dsteck kit from Dedicated Motorsport is what I run. I wouldn't mess around with piecing a kit together to save a few bucks. Not worth the hassle IMO. Install is straightforward and simple. Only thing that takes time is removing your passenger side front fender to pin the wire to the correct connector pin slot going to the ECM. Tuning from a competent tuner is also required.

How do you like the Fore system? How was the install? Any pics? I'm on the fence with ordering that set up or just doing the A@A external pump with the return line. I like the idea of not messing with the stock pump and tank internals.

What I meant was there is no need to spend $400 for a C6 specific plug and play unit if If I'm just going to put it after the regulator in the return line? So I can order a GM sensors and connector and make it suit what ever set up I end up with. I'm doing research now to see If I will piece a system together or just order one.
Seeing different locations others put the sensor. I agree that it should go after the regulator so it's getting a true reading of what the injectors see. If you put it on the secondary pump side. It will only have fuel flow when the secondary pump is on. If you stop at the gas station and get gas. It won't be able to see the change and mixtures until you activate the pump. Then the system can't truly work as intended.

Yes to first question
And I have several of the connectors laying around for pulling power from a coil if you want something that will just plug in, just let me know

I called on Monday and the deal is only if you buy with over priced injectors. They offered zero discount on their sensor??
