Ok, as promised a quick update. I and GarageDog were putting a lot of time into researching factory pumps and specs. After discussing it we were looking at late model Vette pumps. Then I thought what about the new Camaro. As I uncovered some specs, (Not Easy)I pretty much decided that for GarageDog and I the 2010 SS Camaro pump would work well for us. Just when I started to look into it more, Rick's announced the Vaporworx tank using this same pump. So, I started researching Vaporworx without finding much. It turns out that Vaporworx is our very own Carl Casenova! He has put a huge amount of time and effort into applying this fuel pump module to our hobby. Since I have brain damage and want to do as much myself as possible, I contacted him. On a side note, If you do not poses the skills and equipment to fabricate a quality tank then by all means contact Rick's or one of their dealers and get one of these tanks. They are by far in my humble opinion the most advanced application of factory technology for fuel systems in our hobby. OK, back to our regularly scheduled program. Carl and I have been corresponding for weeks and I have to say that he has been very very helpful. He has gone out of his way to educate me on some of the aspects of this project I hadn't thought of yet. He absolutely did not have to go as far as he has. I believe I would have made it to my goal but it would have been a much bumpier road. My hats off to Carl and what he has been willing to share. You can check out much more detail on this system over at Pro-Touring.com. Look in the new products section and read. He has it all laid out in the thread. I didn't post a link as I am not sure if that is frowned upon. If Scott reads this and is OK with it I'll link it. I am in the process of gathering parts and modeling components in solidworks for my application. As I get more done, I will post pictures and updates here and in my build thread. When GagrageDog is ready we will reconfigure it for his application to show how it can be applied in various ways. Stay tuned as I move down this road. Again a big thanks to Carl!

With a possible provision for a breather. It works wonderful. There are more expensive setups. But I've found mine to be the best bang for the buck for the home shade tree guys like myself.




Thats the set up I'm having MCC put in my tank. I'm glad to hear its working out well.

Lots of great info in this thread.

Adding to what Blake had posted...I notice that Aeromotive is now selling their "Stealth" pump (A1000 based) and pickup, as a standalone product. Anyone use one yet? The pickup / filter assembly looks like a nice piece.

This would be ideal for me since I have a Rick's tank ("standard" style without any internal pump, no baffling, etc.)

I was planning to "notch" the forward upper corner sections for exhaust clearance which is tight in that area (69 Camaro w/DSE Quadralink), So I'll be opening up the tank anyway, and could add the baffling at that time.

Or I could just sell what I have, call Hector at Rick's and say:

"Grunt! Me make mistake! You make me Mark Stielow Jackass Tank, Me want!! Grunt!"

Cool that you liked it. The key is not letting fuel get below a quarter of a tank if you are on the autoX or HPDE course. Then everything is golden.
