I just received my kit and I am wondering what I should do during the install that is not covered by the kit. I bought the kit from GWP. I have a stock '99 Trans Am with headers, descreened MAF and 7,000 miles.

I've read about poor cooling, idler pulley wearing out, oil in the intake. What weak points can I correct during the install and what other mods will have great benefit?

 

I would suggest looking into a BeCool radiator, (just the radiator) and/or Spal Fan setup. I would go with the fans first, but that's just me.
Also depending on your setup, did you get 42lbs injectors? I would also suggest an intank fuel pump, you could replace the regulator at the same time if you wanted. Also, some form of programing, LS1-edit or whatever you like.

Hope this helps
Jay

Thanks for the feedback. I did get the 42lb injectors, aeromotive inline fuel pump and control but no instructions.

 

Go to my site at www.BlackLS1TA.com and check out the Tech section links:

1. Aeromotive Pump Wiring Diagram and Instructions
Want to know where to hook all those wires for the Fuel System to?

2. Aeromotive Pump Location and Hookup
My physical placement of the In-line Pump

That should be instructions enough for ya, if they haven't changed any fuel system components as far as the relay and hobbs switch are concerned.

Just holler back if you ahve more questions. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Here ya go:

1. Attach Grounding Tab(1) of Pump Solenoid Switch(2) (hereafter called PSS) to a Ground Source(3) under the hood. (There is a perfect Grounding Post for this over the Driver's Fender Well.)

2. Connect Black Wire(4) of PSS(2) to one Tab(5) of Hobbs Switch(6).

3. Connect a length of Wire(7) from other Tab(8) to Ground Source(3) under the hood.

4. Connect Orange Wire(9) of PSS(2) to a Positive Terminal(10) that derives its power from the Positive Battery Terminal. (Not necessarily to the battery, though. There is a Positive Post near the Fuse/Wiring Harnesses that is perfect for this. The Orange Wire has a fuse in it.)

5. Splice the Green Wire(11) of the PSS(2) into the Grey Wire (12) of the wiring bundle coming from the Fuse Box that has the Fuel Pump Fuse in it.

6. Connect the Yellow Wire(13) of the PSS(2) to the Positive Terminal(14) of the Aeromotive Fuel Pump(15).

7. Connect the Negative Terminal(16) of the Fuel Pump(15) to Chassis Ground (17).

8. Connect the Vacuum Inlet(18) of the Hobbs Switch(6) to a Vacuum Source.

9. Set the Boost Sense Adjust Hex Screw(19) to your desired setting to actuate the pump.
(My desired setting was ZERO boost. Keep in mind, during cruising, you are always runnin under a vacuum, or negative boost. It will take significant throttle pressure to reach boost level.)
Counter-clockwise rotation, which backs the screw out, lowers the boost level actuation point.

This is just one of his many pictures of the fuel system installation. DEFINITELY worth checking out!

Black LS1 T/A,

Lot's of good info on your site, thanx! I noticed you are in N.C. Do you have the standard ATI fan setup installed and does it keep you cool enough?

 

Black LS1 T/A,
