Looks good. Make sure to post up how you the install goes and how running the stock fuel lines works out.

Yeah I'll do that for sure. I think I am going to drop the tank since I need to empty it for e85.

Probably a good call. I'll be cutting the trap door for mine. If this pump works out for you, then I'm going to get something just like it, but I'll be staying with 93 octane. I'm just curious how the pump and Racetronix hotwire kit work together.

Are you running an aftermarket fuel regulator, or just utilizing the it tank one?

I haven't thought it out that far. I was thinking of keeping the stock one for now but I may actually get an aftermarket one. I am not sure on what a good one to get if I do go that route.

The fueling aspect of modding is something I need to do more research on too. I was getting frustrated when I was looking because short of the one Racetronix pump and hotwire kit that everyone and their mom seem to run, I was being told that if you go with this or that pump, you need to upgrade all this other stuff, which would end up costing a **** ton of money. While the Racetronix pump with hotwire kit are fine, it doesn't leave all that much room to grown and it would be nice to get a pump that's going to suite all my HP needs and do it just once.

Yep exactly. This pump should do just fine unless I throw FI into the mix and then I will just get another one and run two 450s.

If this pump works good for you, I'm going to mimic your fuel setup for my car.

They are stock rockers with the trunion upgrade which I bought from rpm transmissions who had them cryogenically treated and micropolished by Performance Metal. I had Performance Metal micropolish my stands too. You can send you rockers to Performance Metal to get the same look.

Perfect present. Plus, still some time to drive her before winter.

We will see if that date actually pans out though. Between work and school I am having issues finding time to work on her and install all my suspension, brake, and other miscellaneous stuff for this build.

That's some really good information there. I doubt many were aware of this option.

Yeah the cryogenic treatment really strengthens the rockers significantly. They do this all the time in their top transmissions for the input and output shafts. I actually came across it by accident while surfing the Internet and I am glad I did.

I'm sure the extra strength will come into play with the RPM's you'll be turning over. What was the cost to have this done?

Well they came like that it was $300 for the new oem rockers, trunion upgrade, cryogenic and micropolish treatment. They list on their site $2 per rocker for micropolish treatment and $2 per rocker for the cryogenic treatment. You are looking at about $64 for both. Turn around time is pretty good too they had them done and shipped out within a couple of days.
