Default 2000 Camaro SS Racetronix hotwire kit?

Iv been looking online and can't seem to find it? I just ordered a Walbro 450lph fuel pump and was looking to do the hotwire kit. I also wanted to see if there was a kit that also included the upgraded bulkhead connector . Pretty much everything to support the pump.

Is this the same hotwire kit? Seems like it also includes the bulkhead connector and pump connector..?

Note the difference in the part numbers (W VS A - just a hunch but suspect the W stands for Walbro and A stands for Aeromotive). You want the kit with the upgraded bulkhead connecter, but also the pump intank harness specifically for the Walbro and not an Aeromotive. The bulkhead connector is moot without the upgraded intank harness to handle the additional amps

Have you considered upgrading to the C5 fuel regulator? I recall there is a thread where Racetronix states the 450 is too much for the stock intank regulator unless of course that you plan to disconnect the intank stock regular and install one in the engine bay. The WS6 store sells the C5 kit.



Racetronix - FPWK-017W - Fuel Pump Wiring Kit MP150/GT280 *
Texas Speed - #135-FPWK-017A

IMO, you will want to order the kit from Racetronix because it specifically states the upgrade is included.

FWIW- the 98s are harder to upgrade because there is no upgraded bulkhead connector (yet). What I have noted when researching for a workaround is that the pics and descriptions of the kit part numbers from some vendors don't match those from Racetronix and why I would order from Racetronix. In other words - don't order a kit with Part No ending in A if you have a Walbro pump. Some pumps have reverse polarity as well so get the kit specifically for your application.

Pay special attention to the notes/details for the A kit.
