couple of questions

I was just wondering a couple of things. Did everyone use stock modified driveshafts or new ones, and what are the advantages or disadvantages of using an inline fuel pump instead of a submerged one. Finally what size inline to go with. Thanks a lot ahead of time.................

Size of pump will depend on your horsepower level. You just need an EFI type pump, as they produce much higher fuel pressures than typical carburetor electric pumps. You need 50-65 psi for most LS1 swaps.

submerged pumps are cooled by the fuel as well, so those can tend to last longer. gonna depend on your chassis / fuel tank setup as to whether that's the way for you to go though.
