Yes, it is a Katech product. Currently we're only selling them for in-house installs, but that could change in the future. We keep the OEM pump in the fuel tank to feed the surge tank. The surge tank has the two 350lph pumps.

Jason, I was wondering what you guys use to ensure proper oil pump alignment? I know they make the Kent-Moore oil pump alignment blocks but I didn't see any in the cam install vid?

Does your system use or require a primer button or switch to make sure the high-pressure pump has fuel before engine start?

The LT engines are doweled. Nothing special is required.

There is no primer button.

I recently noticed that TIKT had a new attachment for the rear spoiler to match their wing. Too bad you do not have one of these for the Sema car show. Or do you? I love the quality of parts and professionalism from both Katech and TIKT
