I stand behind my work. Sinister called me and said he has an extra pump I could take up there if that turns out to be the problem. I have been offering to get this bug worked out for FREE. Simple terms. Either call me on the phone, or stop down and see me. If your gonna need any different parts, thats gonna be up to you to cover though.

Unfortunately my time involved was in the fuel system design although I did not choose what brands were used and wasn't there for final assembly.
That same fuel system has made over 600whp in my car and the same design is in the SS as well.

haha - nice one jay... i got banned from the local forum b/c i CAME TO YOU to do my cam install - you have known it was bullshit, b/c i didnt get along with the board owner - you have been well aware of this for the past how long - don't try to turn the story to fit ur motive now...
And i never made any of this public until you had to do what you did with this fuel system. I bitched, but always paid my bill whenever you asked for money ... However, its frustrating when someone tears your car apart, leaving you without a ride, and then refuses to replace the parts that HE CHOSE, even tho they were the wrong ones. I already gave you the computer analogy (sp?) ... its the exact same situation. I never bashed any of your work, b/c i think its high quality, just the fact that you more than doubled the labor quote. But did i still pay? YES....
i already told you that you're not going to get a phone call. I already have someone that is more than happy to fix the problem - with the same conditions - i have to pay for any new parts that may be needed ... in his case thouhg, he didnt screw up the system the first time, so i don't have too much to bitch about when it comes to paying for some parts

As an LS1tech lurker, I want to see more vids and good horsepower. (I'm busy dreaming of a twin turbo V8 setup too.) Everything on the build looks great so far.
Shame that relations have broken down between builder and customer. We don't really want to see the argument in public.

Your pumps sit in a baffle in the tank so they don't fuel starve from sudden changes in the cars inertia. We tested it with full tank and the pumps did not out flow the baffle inlet but I'm betting if you weren't at least half tank its pumping more out than is flowing in the baffle. It prob needs the openings enlarged.

get rid of the basket
when sammy and i did mine we cut the bitch out of there and just used the back and bottom for the spupport of the pumps
if your running out of fuel around the pumps that gonna cause your pumps to get hot they are cooled by the fuel surrounding them !
