    My car is going really lean occasionally and mostly when Im low on gas. Im going to assume its the fuel pump. Im also planning on going E85 sometime so Im looking to upgrade. I have the L36 pump and canister, so what will fit and which is best for the price? I have a 2001 so does that mean I dont have a venturi port?

    You'll have to check under the car and see if you have a plastic tank or a metal one. PM Tengis, he'll hook you up with a pump.

    Better have zack mock up the canister and pump for you if you buy one from him so it will work good. Also get a fuel pump rewire cuz all those pumps pull too much power. 97-00 supercharged vehicles have venturi.

    No n/a cars are venturi. You should have the plastic tank.

    no aftermarket "performance" pump will work without a 97-00 ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT GTP canister.

    Well would a FP rewire be good with a 3.4 setup on E85 and stock gt pump? Cuz thats my plans.

    Probably and if it isn't go Racetronix because then you'll already have the wiring ready for it.

    Odd, my Racetronix pump was drop in and "plug and play" on my 97 GTP. One of the easiest things I have installed on my car.

    That's exactly correct as stated above. You need a 97-00 OE canister

    The Racetronix pump works great. As everyone has said, get the OE 97-00 GTP canister and it fits perfect and works great. The Racetronix rewire kit is far superior to the ZZP kit and is plug and play. No splicing or running it through the firewall. It's well worth the few bucks extra.

    Anyone got a link to where to buy the Racetronix rewire kit. I've looked and could never find it on their site.
