I looked for pics before I bought one. There were none. No one has really copied lonnies setup because there isnt much in the form of pics for it, and the price is hard to beat, and the performance is second to none.

I knew that if I got it, and did not like it, I could EASILY sell it for exactly what I had in it. Well, needless to say, Im not selling it

I'm glad I didn't try to make it my self. Lonnies work was top notch and it was 100% plug and play. I'd spend the money again for this set up. Droping the rear end, pulling the tank and running the wiring harnes took 4 hours and It works like a charm.

I'm definately looking into one of Lonnie's setups, I've spoken with him several times about it, but I'm also interested in putting together my own setup. There's just something about doing things yourself that makes you feel good about what you did and why you did it, especially if it all works out. But for those who prefer not, then spending the extra coin is always an option, which in some cases my be the better choice.

I can appreciate the personal satisfaction of building it yourself. The unfortunate part is after the hours it takes to find everything, modify & assemble the sender & then hope you did it correctly, what is your time worth?

I'm sure if you search here, there are 50 posts about "Why don't my pumps work" or ... not support the power they should" or ... it quit working" from people that built pumps themselves. Doing it 3 times until it works properly will replace a lot of the "personal satisfaction" with aggravation.

If I actually sold the components with a normal markup, I would have to charge nearly the same amount as when I assemble it for you. There are cheaper ways to assemble a kit, but great effort was made to use the best components, so that there are no problems. With my kits, you get top quality Racetronix wiring & parts, weatherproof connectors everywhere, high current automotive relays (not Radio Shack parts), OE quality intank fuel lines, & genuine Walbro pumps, not china copies.

As far as showing detailed pictures, that many ask for, I do not do it intentionally & I also ask my customers not to as well, for reasons of protecting my investment. A lot of research goes into the development of these kits & I do not want someone making a cheap knockoff of these, while trying to put me out of business. Just as any of you do not want lose your job because your product or labor is now being sourced from a 3rd world country, neither do I. I want to make an honest living & provide a good product, with satified customers.

As Lou from LGM has mentioned above, they recently started using these kits for their builds. They are known for building high quality performance cars, & use only the best components. I now have many shops using these kits, so they are also staking their reputation on the quality & reliability that these kits provide.

With my setup, the pump & complete harness is bench tested for proper operation, leaks & pressure. This way, you are assured it will work & you will only have to install it 1 time. I try to make this the most painfree way to do one of these setups.

I can definately agree with you Lonnie, you have a genuine product and I am definately considering a purchase from you. I have spoken with you several times and have gotten nothing but top notch service and rock solid answers to all of my questions. Your expertise and your hard work speaks for itself and I definately would not have any any regrets spending my money with you.
