any ideas what causes such low pressure.. they claimed to force 12V into the pump and nothing.. also i bought a new pump that safely be cranked that high. im guessing its a faulty pump.. so be wearry of BBK brand.. they also took the main fuel line and took out of the regulator and try to crank it directly but still at 22psi. could it be the injectors clogged up? just some ideas.. but im looking it at the worst possibility which is an obvious dead fuel pump..

got a call from the shop today and mentioned that the rubber hose that the pump pushes the fuel to the line was rotten.. which was weird because i just finished replacing the damn thing. so they claimed they will replace the pump and everything else and fire it up today.. dont wanna get my hopes up just yet..

thanks eric! went today to check out the car and it sounds AWESOME!! nice deep mellowness at idle and nice agressive loud at WOT.. unfortunately the waterpump is bad cus its leaking at the "weeping hole" but its ok i got me a spare one out of a ls1 gto.. so its a good weekender to do work on the car, didnt know i was going to work on my baby so soon besides the oil changes and such.. but for now its still in the shop tidying up some things.

i know lucid.. ! if i had some extra money saved up i would have made them do a dyno to know where im at since i did a full exhaust and a CAI.. but im sure its worth saving up on the real stuff like head and cam combo.. but i would like to know hows my 1/4 mile ET's.. so thats a cool event waiting to happen! hay maybe we can make a trip with this club out there sometime!
it was the greatest feeling ever to grab the keys and crank the sucker up for a couple of minutes and give it some gas.unfortunately the shop still needs a couple of things to work on like calibrating the speedo and a couple of gauges that need attention. and of course change the water pump.
ill update you guys when i finally get the car out of that prison and set her on the open road!
