is it the direct fit pump?if so also order the hotwire kit with it,youll need it for more voltage to the pump, you can either cut a hole on top of your deck lid just be careful their are pics on this just gotta search,or drop the tank which i did wasnt to bad,i just got done putting to back together which i install the tank by my self was a little tricky.

We have seen good horsepower gains on the LT1 cars by just adding a Walbro fuel pump.
It most likely bumps up the fuel pressure which the LT1's seem to respong well to.

Here is the fuel pump Hotwire kit for the LT1's. Bob
