Vortech setup question!
You will have to search on here and find the mod thread on it. There are a few mods to get the walbro to work the best. i think it can be found under the tech area of cj-motorsports.com

if you are just installing the walbro pump into the fuel basket then you don't need a return kit.

they make inline pumps. I was just clarifying that we were specifically talking about an intank pump.

i cant wait for the install. its funny that my tuner is givin me crap for not going TT. Hes hates on the vortech big time. for the obvious reason of linear power instead of power out of the hole. Im sure however that it will be fast as hell. Why would he be hating it so much? some input? am I going to be loving it or not feelin like its ballsy enough. My last car was a highly modded acura CLS pushing 340 WHP. granted that car was a pain in the *** to get it up to that much power. I figure ill be at 400 WHP with the G. I just want some feedback from those who tuned it to 400WHP like im going to do.... gonna be good??
Id seriously get a new tuner. I certaintly wouldnt want someone who "hates vortech big time" to work on my vortech install and tune.
Vortech may not give you the pushback in the seat a way a tt would but its still fast as hell.

yea, i figured. Ill be hoping to get the kinda numbers your putting down. They have a Mustang Dyno so it always reads low numbers. Ive got the same supporting mods as you with exception of test pipes instead of HFC
iiche has helped me out alot and hes right i didnt even get a chance to put mine on yet and i would never let somebody who hate vortech tune my s**t. all ive been learning on here and from what it seems lk ITS ALL IN THE TUNE!!!!!! im just gettin concerned i really want reliability and im hearin of blown motors !! i just really hope and pray NO PROBLEMS!!!! its slowly but surely commin together...... my wheels just came in yest. omg they look insane!!!!! forgiotos r pricey but they look so good!! chargert is gettin put on after the new yr. (just to much goin on rt now... dont want to rush it) then i think im goin to get a set of Tein Basic coil overs ((( any opinions on then?))) im really in to the racing around the streets or track just really lookin for the look and the adjustabiliy..... Let me know

yeah, i have a good tuner in the area that i am going to go to. Good luck with finding a good tuner. I hear you about the wheels but if you want to look good you gotta pay. hehe. I just got a set of GFG's for my car that were a pretty penny. Im looking forward on installing my vortech in a week or so. As for the supsension mods, If you dont mind not having adjustable ride height and find the spring that is right for you then, buy springs and get adjustable shocks like tokicos.

another question. Is it possible to replace the standard Bypass valve from vortech with a HKS blow off valve? if so any recommendations on which to buy which works the best and so forth... Thanks guys.
Unless you like compressor surge, its only possible to replace to the Vortech bypass valve with a similar (standard or racing) BYPASS valve from HKS. Not the blow-off valve.
Also, i don't see much reason for changing the valve. The vortech is made quite well. The HKS does have a little different sound characteristics, but nothing drastic.
