    Have made many mods for getting more air in/out, Sucess was acheived now need more fuel delivery.
    Have had problems with dirty gas tank I will remedy this and install new pump.
    Question: Does anyone know where I can get larger I.D. fuel line that will connect to fuel pump and fuel rail. Preferably from other G.M. vehicle as I have access to good Junk Yard.

    The stock fuel lines, rails and FPR was used on a 600hp turbo car... I don't think upgrading the lines will help.

    A fuel pump rewire should be your first mod, then injectors, then a better pump. You could do larger injectors before the rewire but the rewire is more cost effective for a little extra fuel if thats all you need. What power level are you at or your setup? Until then, we can't really help ya.

    I estimate @ 300 using stock HP and the conservitive hp gain estimates of these mods: 2- 4" cone filters one in fenderwell behind "removed" foglight the other in normal K&N location in motor compartment area behind headlight both going to a 4" pipe and polished throttle body and Superchrger throat,3.4" pulley and very free flowing exhaust utilizing 2.5" and 2.25" piping with smooth Y transition going to almost non existant mufflers (flowmaster Knockoffs)
