blown Z06 fuel problem....
well i have a dilema, and im hoping you guys can help.
i am in the process of buying a 2002 Z06 with an A&A P1sc kit.
here are the stats....
-22K miles on car
-6K on blower, 6psi
-LPE pump, 42lb inj.
after install of blower, car made 560+/-rwhp.
so A&A de-tuned it to 535rwhp 475rwtq.
now, i test drove the car., and damn it is fast! everything seems fine.
so i have the seller take the car to A&A to have in inspected and make sure that is still making 500+rwhp.
so they get it on the dyno and they said it was running out of fuel in the top end. so they only ran it up to 5800rpm. and only saw 480rwhp.
so i talk to ANDY and he thinks its just the pump, and it should be an easy fix.
my question is, what do you guys think. the seller doesnt want to put any $$$ in the car. he wants to sell it as is, what do i do?
how much to have a new fuel pump and maybe a BAP installed a Z06?
and is there anything else i should be lookin at?
and what shoul the car be upgraded with?
other than this the car is great? and runs great.
any insight, info would be great!
thanks a ton!!!!!!!!!

I have the same car and the same issue but I have 60lb inj. Seems the C5 fuel systems are a crap shoot-if it doesn't already have a LPE pump and BAP-get one. Theyre not hard to install. Pump $300, BAP $220.

If it has an LPE pump then the BAP should be good-but on a Z06 the 42's are probably very close to or already at 100%DC. The BAP is easy to install-go over to the CF forum and you should be able to find lots of links to clean install.
