Nobody had cut an access panel into the floor on mine. I had to remove half of the rear suspension and the exhaust to drop the tank. I didn't have enough cash at the time for a bigger pump so I just put in the stock replacement. If I ever decide to add nitrous I'll have to upgrade.

There are several aftermarket pumps that are better than stock but will go in the stock location. You might want to replace the fuel pressure regulator with an aftermarket one as well. That way you can adjust the pressure if needed. The tank was somewhat easy for me but I did it at the bus garage I work at. I was able to get the back of the car very high and remove the tires, shocks, sway bar, panhard bar, and torque arm, and lower the rear axle as low as possible. After that is wasnt too bad. It would have been easier if I had someone to help. If you cut an opening, be careful of lines and make it big enought. You have to move the pump assembly around to clear the float to get it out.

Orr89RocZ · 10-13-2007, 03:13 PM

I'd go if it was worth it. it would be interesting to see how little HP i have since i plan on modding the 305 (unless i find a 383 or something)

Orr89RocZ · 10-16-2007, 03:04 PM

its nota bad price...50 for 3 pulls...atleast you'll have a baseline

i want ot go but now discovered i have 2 bad injectors

t/adreams · 10-18-2007, 12:51 PM

Hey guys, this is going to sound a little silly but-
How long can you drive your cars in winter?
I'm moving to Pitts from Florida to work for Heinz.

What are the good forums/clubs?

Where would/ woudln't you recommend living in Pitts? Heinz is in Warrendale, I'd like somewhere around there.

Thanks for the help!

Orr89RocZ · 10-18-2007, 01:29 PM

Go to Pittspeed.com....thats pretty much the only general car forum around the pittsburgh area. Ask them about living in the area. i dont have much experience with that

As far as winter driving, i store my car from december 1 to March 1, but sometimes its very nice during december... like sunny and 40-50 degrees!. even in january there has been nice days. its late january and february that kills! snow and very cold usually

Soccerman133 · 10-18-2007, 02:19 PM

www.ricekiller.com too

can't help you about where to live..

but about the weather Orr89RocZ is correctomundo

Welcome to the 'burgh. There are alot of good places to live in that area. It just depends on what you can afford.

Z2EIGHT · 10-20-2007, 10:09 AM

Hey guys, Yall wanna hangout at DINOS, though I don't really know any of you, and I don't remember how to get there, and any yall wanna do that pittspeed dyno thingy...sounds good for 50 bucks.

Soccerman133 · 10-20-2007, 10:24 AM

hotrod16105 · 10-20-2007, 12:45 PM

You should come anyway, even if you dont run your car. It will probably be a good time. Youre welcome to ride with me. Kurt will probably ride along as well.
