oh yeah it will be fine, and mine would be fine to if i left it like it was since you can not really tell a difference in normal driving, but since i like to have fun with it and have a a/f gauge and fuel pressure gauge i can see that its running alot leaner now and how low the pressure is, and can tell the difference at wot. would be hard to tell why without me having those gauges so it time for a change and would have to be done anyway with future mods. but either way your will be fine with a stock pump.

understood...You won't ever make enough power to need a larger pump...At least I don't think you will...

You just want the car to look good, and drive nice...And beat 99% of the cars on the road...I'll handle the other 1%

exactly, things dont break untill you start modding, lol... for instance, exhaust... never had a problem till i started modding it, and then the leaks come. damn aftermarket. i do have future plans for a cam, but it will be nothing radical, im actually considering the zo6 cam/springs... nothing huge, just a nice subtle power boost, while maintaining extreme DD reliability/drivability.

Z06 cam??? No...

Do a TR224, and it will be the same as stock with a tad of lope, and more power...Perfect daily driver cam...But anyway, the stock pump and injectors will be fine with that...

i don't think so, do some research onthat...A set of Comp 918's and a 224 is basically the beginners step at a cam...there are smaller setups, but I'd recommend a 224 for the street car...

So i guess i forgot to tell you all, but I'm getting my income tax tomorrow...The 19th...Only 2005 for the moment, but still 2400+$$$, getting paid friday which will we around the same amount, and I have another 2000 or so coming to me from my bank account that was closed...

I'm going to take a little chunk of that money, and go ahead and get my....
Cam, intake, TB, pulley, tune, fuelpump, injectors, oilpump...and whatever else I think i need...

Hope you're ready Chris...This is going to be a fun one for you guys...

I'll use the rest of the money to save, and use as a down payment on the IS350...

i think im forced to get the racetronix fuel kit... im not able to get just the pump from GM, they want like 600$ for the whole sending unit and everything. and i dont wanna get just a walbro pump and have the stock harness screw things up, so i guess im left with racetronix.

It's the best option out there...And i didn't recommend it just for a performance thing...It's easy to hook up, and IF you shall ever need it, it's in the tank...At a price you can afford...

Hmmm Speedworld 5/20

After9Events.com Presents; "L.O.U.D.R.", (Lights Out Underground Drag Racing). Street Car series, Flagger or Tree Start. More information go to Loudrseries.com

Anyone been to something like this before? Do you still get your time slip at the end of the run, or is it just race to beat the other guy?

i think its gay ricer stuff with techno music everywhere. i wouldnt count on getting traditional races in at an event like that... they are mainly trying to reinact fast n furious, if i were you, i'd wait to go on a wed. as there are very few people that are there on wednesdays.
