Why would you even both writing this?
1. I'm double checking that this is completely necessary as I can't recall if these two guys actually upgraded the fuel pump, if they used the access panel, or had to drop the tank.
2. Why would I google and start with vague or theoretical results when I have two guys here who have actually done the work and can speak from experience? I didn't tag you, the question wasn't directed at you. If one of them wants to tell me to F off and go google, fine. But generally they are very helpful, so I don't expect that.
3. No, I suspect these two guys can point me in the right direction and help me avoid any pitfalls or inaccurate information and speed up the learning curve by telling me what's important and what's not from their experience.
4. Again, no. If I google this question, I'm likely to find these same threads and end up right back here. Asking which guages they've found most important or useful after a year/years of running thier SCs means I should be doing this myself?
You'd added nothing of value for anyone, you're pretty new here, this isn't reddit. We generally try to help each other and refrain being a dick for no reason. Maybe this isn't the forum for you.
You just asked and gave us NO indication that your even tried looking 1st. (Unless it was buried somewhere in the tons of posts you make bacause you dont lump all your replies in one post and reply ot each with a separate post.)
1. If you had included that instead of just "The upgraded fuel pump, does that have to be installed in the gas tank? Bc if I'm dropping the gas tank, I might as well replace it with LRA tank while it's out." it would have shown your train of thought. You made it look like you didnt even try looking at anything.
2. It's not theoretical. It's math.
How much fuel does an engine of a certain size at a certain pressure (boost) need for a certain RPM.
3. True, but also its not magic. Lambda/AFR is the pretty much the same for everything. (Talking one fuel only, yes it will be difernt for other fuels like Ethanol/Meth/ETC)
4. Here.
Wideband AFR Gauge and Boost Gauge (At a minimum this)
EGT Gauge (if you want to keep an eye on the temps also)
Oil Temp and Pressure Gauge.
Pretty sure a ScanGauge can do Boost/Oil temp/press.
But also you should know
why you need to be looking at those things. Not just for numbers that are too high/low.
New
HERE not to building/tuning cars. And I mean REAL tuning, not slapping wheels and off the shelf coils on a car and calling it "tuning".
Suspension/Areo/Engine both carb and EFI.
I wasn't trying to "be a dick", you've been here long enough to also know "Use the search" is thrown around a lot. Especially for those people who at first glance look like they didn't even try searching/learning a bit first. Which is exactly what it looked like in this entire thread history before you asked your questions.
Brutal. I'm finally ready to pull the trigger on the project but getting hit with a 25% penalty really blows.
Starting to agree completely on the 5.7 vs 4.7. The head gasket issues they are having over there give me major pause to buy a 200 vs. just buying this kit after I'd already modded my 100 to do everything I could ever need. Just needs more power in the mountains and this seems to solve that with a reliable option. I've reached out to Elate to get the process started.
Will do, will be interesting to see what the final number shakes out to be. Either way, much cheaper than a 200 series and rolling the dice on an engine problem. Shame we can't even look at GX550's or LX600s for an "upgrade". Zero chance I'm dancing with that TTV6 right now. The engineer in me screams "design flaw", as the machining debris excuse doensn't make much sense to me anymore.
