No Pressure Well the Vette has had problems for a long time now runs great driving around town but slowed down to high 12’s in the ¼. 
The last couple of months it’s been hard to start after sitting for a week or two. I finally looked at my fuel pressure and there is none when I turned the key on. When I hit the starter for about 5 seconds still nothing. Did it again still nothing. The fourth time after about 3 seconds the gage moved and it started. It only has 32lbs and when you rev it goes to 39 or 40 should be 46. 
I guess the 12 year old pump is dying on me. 
That could have been one reason why it slowed down. Sorry just had to vent I'm not looking forward to pulling the tank.

I hope it's easy not much time these days. Ellis I was thinking about the racetronix pump to feed future mods. 
I'm in the process of putting a elecric water pump in the Camaro (old one went out) should give me about a tenth.

I would like to run the Vette once before the season ends and then rebuild it for next year. Trending Topics

No Ellis and I've been wanting to run it since you did your magic to it (Thanks your the man.) I can't make it Friday for Car Club but Saturday night is open. I leave next week for South Dakota and when we get back were going to Kauai for vacation. Should be back for the Bremerton Car Club in September. I think with the electric water pump it should run 12.8s but mainly I hope it's consistant to go rounds in Pro with the big dogs.
