Yes but I've compared the LT4 vs LT5 fuel system already. High side is identical, port side is new obv, and it has the same low side tank pump which doesn't take much more to get 100 HP from the low side on 93 so it was adequate. LT4 guys can achieve this with a 15% lower, intake, and a tune. The LT5 has a completely new ECM, the E99 that communicates to their piggy back controller, so guys hoping for a retrofit are likely going to be disappointed as the firmware in the other control modules like the BCM will be different.

We could've easily made our own machined hat to do in tank pumps, but it's just not really worth the labor in dropping the tank. Tapping the tank is nothing complicated, it's been done for a long time and the billet tank tap fitting we use has a -10 feed and -8 return and it sandwiches the tank so you're not just screwing a bulk head through the plastic, but it clamps it and keeps a tight seal, even has a pre-filter on the end of it. We haven't had one leak yet! The larger line pump is commanded on and only runs when needed too, so you're not constantly running and returning fuel with big tank pumps, which heats it up. If you ever want to remove it, take it out, leave the tank fitting in place and screw a couple of -10 and -8 caps on it and you're done.

done and done, also sent the port injection option which puts the bungs and rails in place with billet injector plugs so you can easily add it later should you choose. It's a lot better to do this before it's powder coated than after.

It's posts like this that has me seriously considering driving from Texas to Ohio. I am very pleased to see that there is no longer a need to use methanol to offset fuel deficiencies!!

I'm eager to see a no methanol, 100% E85 Whipple dyno post. I'd also like to see the same test with a TVS2650, but that will have to wait a few more months.

I'll chime in and say Weapon X's prices are very reasonable esp with the core charge. But, that is just my opinion. Plus, they've been very responsive on the IM.
