A Relay , which is in the Harness. The Computer kicks the fuel pump on. I will most likely bypass the stock wiring for the fuel pump ,and the inertia switch. Just keep the pigtail off the pump itself.

Well I think it's time for an Update... Where shall I start.
I bought a 3" VFN Cowl hood ,and have yet to put that on. I ditched the LS1 Intake in favor of a Fast 90 with a direct port setup. I went manual rack , and flaming river shaft. Got the Dynatechs drivers side didn't fit called ,and got new one.

Put a Cam in the motor Can't think of the specs off hand but can post them tommorow. Got a 10 PT moly cage put in ,and subframe connectors ,and torque boxs. New brakes up front ,and Coilovers are all in.

Got an A1000 that feeds -10 then -8 to rails ,-8 back to the tank.

Converter is TCI 3400on motor 3800 on spray so I'm told...
