Good plan for custom apps. LONNIE is your best bet.

I ran the 340 and had no problems with it at all. Gives you a little more wiggle room when you want more power down the road because the 340 does outflow the 255.

No the guy I was sending that to was the one asking about the camaro,everyone was talking about the trap door mod, I wasn't referring to a g8. Sorry if it posted late it wasn't meant to look like I was talking about a g8

Good info here. Thanks all for the input. I'll be doing a (simple) 600whp fuel system on my 01 SS. I'v run Racetronix stuff on every C5 I'v ever owned, everything worked and fit well. In this situation I think I will either be doing something from Lonnie or do an Aeromotive Stealth 340 kit. Sad that I'v emailed Racetronix multiple times and even called them multiple times and left messages without even a single return call or email. I figure they are doing well enough they don't need my business now..or in the future. I'll post up my updates as my 427 F Body project continues.

Hahahha. Welcome to my world. If I needed something right away I would call my dealer. Obviously I had questions related to WHAT I needed. Obviously a couple minutes of your time isn't worth your time. Damn I'm in the wrong business....
Funny...Aeromotive answerd their phone AND had 5 minutes to listen to my project goals AND was able to recommend some things. Thanks anyway!

A/M does not sell directly to the end user so you end up having to make your purchase through a dealer regardless.
We are happy you were able to get what you need from A/M. Good luck with your project.

Just a thought here....in the time it took you to reply to me twice in this thread you could have practically answered my (very simple and straight forward) questions. As a business owner who really takes pride in customer service...that is the route you might have chosen.

This is the hotwire kit required for running anything larger than our FPA-001/A 255LPH fuel pump assembly. This includes the AM340 LPH and Racetronix RXP340 series pumps:
http://www.racetronix.biz/customkiti...=FPWK-017W&eq=
Please note, none of these pumps will support the jet-pump functionality of the factory module. This is explained in our FPA-001 ad here:
http://www.racetronix.biz/itemdesc.a...A-001A&eq=&Tp=
Holes will have to be cut into the module to allow fuel to enter. Once this is done adequate fuel will have to be in the tank at all times to prevent fuel starvation under cornering and acceleration. There is no baffling in the 99-02 plastic tanks.
The factory return system and regulator can NOT handle the fuel volume of our 340LPH pumps. Even with our standard 255LPH systems there is a pressure rise of apx. 4-6PSI above the factory regulator's setting of 58PSI. Installing a 340LPH pump will push this upwards of 70PSI which will cause tuning problems and pre-mature pump failure.
WE WILL NOT WARRANTY ANY PUMP THAT FAILS DUE TO INADEQUATE WIRING / VOLTAGE SUPPLY OR EXCESSIVE OPERATING PRESSURES.

My TA is a 98, will holes have to be cut into the module to allow fuel to enter? Or is that only for 99-02? The pressure at idle is at 58psi and it only allows me to fill up to half a fuel tank after the 340 install; once the fuel drops under 1/4, the car shuts off at sudden stops or sudden turns like it's not getting enough fuel. I started a thread asking for advice on this issue in this section as well.
Please advise.
Please advise.
Most likely a false reading from your fuel level sensor.

I know mine is a 98(not supposed to have this module) and I haven't personally seen it(since I didnt install it) but I'm gonna pull pump myself this afternoon to take a look at it and mod whatever is necessary.
Thanks for your help man, I appreciate it.
