racetronix makes a really nice kit that will also help handle more power in the future too.

x2 on the racetronix hotwire kit w/walboro 255lph pump

you still need to find a working fuel sending unit though. rockauto.com may have them if you cant find a used one

The existing wire is ****. It's not large enough to handle the amount of power that the higher-flowing pumps need at WOT.

I ran a granatelli for a couple years and didn't know that the stock wiring isn't good enough. Now my pressure is a touch low and the pump has been doing strange things like whining really loud and surging around and during times when my car stumbles and almost dies, and also the priming cycle before start up lasting about 15 seconds instead of shutting off after 2-3 seconds. Moral of the story - get upgraded wiring now matter what you choose.

Racetronix..

Thanks for that Fuel Pump Ed link. Step #3 is what I'm going with tonight. I keep stalling, and I see a surge on my battery meter in the dash. It's just a theory, but I think this may be my answer, or I'm hoping.

I just received my hot wire kit from Racetronix and it is a very nice wire set up. Wish I would have done this years ago!! Nice stuff. I recommend the hot wire kit and Aeromotive 340lph pump.

Our product listings are very specific. They show / list what is included with each item.

If your module is damaged you will have to buy a new one:
