Default 98 guys get ready!

Just a little picture to help feed your imagination.
In case you cant guess thats a Hellcat pump in a 98 module.

We will be offering these as drop in complete modules only at the moment. There are too many different module designs to allow us to have them as a pump alone for sale in this setup. We will have 98 hellcat pump and hotwire combo options but the modifications will be up to the end user there with no instructions.

Brand new gm modules will be used.
We will have 340 kits available as well.

This is just a preliminary/prototype so its still kinda rough.
No one can "have it for free" or "try it out"
These modules take quite a bit of time to make, no need to joke around about them.

They will also offer a complete wiring harness with new style bulkhead that must be bought with the kit. It will only be sold together. Still plug and play, drop in and go with either an adjustable external fuel pressure regulator or c5 filter reg kit.

Ill post more pics when its near completion with the harness. They will come with the complete harness from bullhead on car to pump and hotwire kit.

Completed!

More info Monday for pricing. This will require a specific hotwire harness that will ONLY be sold with the units. You cannot purchase separately.
They will be 100% plug and play no repinning necessary. Includes new heavy duty bulkhead.

We will have 255/340/and the hellcat options.

255 and 340 will work with factory regulator.
The hellcat can use the c5 filter/regulator kit, external regulator or complete fuel rail kit from Racetronix. We can modify the 255 and 350 for external regulator also for same price if you want to use the c5 filter kit or an external regulator.



These are brand new GM module assemblies also. We will use them until the supply runs out then we will use an aftermarket unit there.

This is excellent.

For someone NA... at say 620rwhp the 340 kit should be fine with the stock fuel lines? At what point would you recommend moving to the -8AN and a return style fuel system? I know 700rwhp is about the limit with boost... but NA is different.

The stock lines become an issue around 750hp whether in boost or na because fuel flow is the same.
The 340 in the modules we have can use the factory regulator in tank but id really recommend the c5 kit or an external regulator. The hellcat could still use stock lines up to 750 BUT would necessitate the c5 filter kit or external regulator.
Anything 800+ definitely use the racetronix fuel line kit.

Also make sure you have a very good altenator. Any of these pumps need good current and voltage. Lack of that will definitely burn these units up and cause other issues. The 140/160 amp Escalade alternator is a good option BUT you still have to replace the excitor wire as well as they are the main reason for charging issues. We have a heavy duty pigtail for that its $20.
There are of course the Mechman, Powemaster and Power Bastards units also and a few others.

Here is the hotwire harness done.
You cannot use any existing hotwire harness you may have and these modules will only be sold with the new hotwire harness.

Even though I've got a modified stock setup with the Racetronix 255LPH pump and Racetronix hotwire kit, I lost an accurate fuel gage the day it was installed (around 2010). I want a solution where everything is pre-assembled, pull out the old, carefully install the new, don't transfer anything between assemblies, no cutting wires, etc, etc. And a freakin' accurate fuel gage

Is everything in the kit brand new? Does this include everything that goes inside the tank for factory behavior? Float lever arm, fuel lever sensor, etc? Pricing?

Is this fuel mat a better design than OEM? Can a larger fuel mat (such a as a Hydramat) be used on this kit to absolutely minimize fuel starvation for autocross and HPDE duty? If yes, could I order it from you? If not, what is the best size to use in the '98 tank? It looks like Hydramats are offered in three different fittings, -10, 3/8 & 5/8.

You can upgrade to them but they are so overly expensive just for a special sock, it's not worth it to me.
The way the 98s are fed directly on the return they wouldn't be an issue.
You can see that in the pictures.

my friend is looking for a set up, he has a 98 and will be installing a Huron T6 kit on his car, plan to push it to 15 psi on stock block. I told him to get the 450 walbro and harness kit for that goal. what are you charging for the set up? please PM me with information and pricing. right now he has a racetronix 225 pump and hot wire kit. we want to do -8 feed and stock feed as return with an external regulator. we have the fittings and line, we are looking for a drop in set up with the pump and wiring if needed.

also I have a 98 as well with a 408 that Im planning on upgrading fuel system. right now I have the same set up as him and will be doing dual 450 pump and -8 feed with stock feed as return as well. I am going to use an external regulator.
what do you recommend/have for us

please PM me with the information sir.
David.

A 450 pump is not necessary on your setup. a 340 would more than handle any NA build.

We will likely only be offering 255/340/hellcat pump options for the 98 and 99-02 modules. and our complete modules also. So if you want the biggest the hellcat will be it BUT YOU WILL NEED A BETTER THAN STOCK ALTERNATOR AND EXCITOR WIRE. basically for the 340+ pumps this is a necessity.

We only have the 255 and 340 pump available for the 98 because the 400+ require quite a bit of modification to make work. That is why we are engineering this complete kit. We likely wont offer just a 400+/hellcat pump only kit due to that.

Im getting the fuel system ready for when I install a turbo kit on the formula. thats why I asked about the dual 450 set up. I have fuel rails with the stock lines currently. I am planning on -8 feed and stock feed as return on this car but want to have a 340 running all the time and a 450 on a hobbs switch.
can you quote me a drop in set up like I am wanting with a harness (I dont think the current one from racetronix would work? maybe Im wrong.)
please let me know what you suggest.

I have 7 modules in process right now one is near completion for a customer. We are adding them to site, link will be fully updated soon. Here it is though

98 fuel pump modules

The 255 will use std hotwire harness and bulkhead. The 340 and hellcat will use upgrades bulkhead and custom harness. Hence the price difference.

Shipping is definitely messing with the time frame so they will be delayed some. But they are available. I have a hellcat ready to go right now actually with hotwire.

Did I overlook the pricing for the 340 kit, I don't see it on that link. What does the following blurb mean in your link? I already have the Racetronix 255LPH kit and their hotwire kit and I do not have an external regulator. I'll also need to buy a C5 fuel filter kit?

"Note: 340 fuel pump kits for use with original equipment/modules already in vehicle do require c5 filter kit or adjustable external fuel pressure regulator or Racetronix complete fuel line kit. The in tank regulator is of a different design"

Link is updated with pricing.

The 340 and hellcat require a custom hotwire so even if you have a 255 kit and hotwire you cannot use it. It will require this custom harness.

The 340 and hellcat also require an external regulator of some sort. Whether the c5 or an external adjustable. they will have the in tank regulator removed and bypassed with straight tube to filter.

That's basically exactly what it says in link also.
