S/C Fuel Delivery
Well I bought a V1 S/C kit off a fellow .org member and I plan on installing in next month or two
For fuel delivery if I want dont want to go FMU route and do the ECU for fuel delivery ??... I plan on gettin 370's, MAF, S/C program and raised rev limiter by winter but my question is will I need the FMU if I go with the ECU upgrade ?? what if I Put in the FMU now and run that till I get the ECu in the mail..then just take the FMU out ?? I dont know the order of everything:
If i do the ECU right away and not the 370's and MAF will my car run like sh*t ?? all at once or none ??
this kit comes with a cartech FMU, FRP...I will need to buy the 370 and the MAF>... I will also be running a 3.125
another thing, this kit comes with a vortech inline fuel pump, anyone running this kind of pump ?? should I buy a Walbro instead ??
Im really new to all of this so please go easy on me

FMU: You won't need the fmu with the JWT ecu and 370 cc/min injectors, but it's kind of nice to have a way to fatten up the fuel curve if you need to without having to resort to an air flow converter. I would keep it. Anything that enhances tuneability is good, as far as I am concerned.
ECU: If you have the ecu programmed for the 370 cc/min injectors, then you are going to have to install the injectors and the JWT ecu at the same time, otherwise you will run too lean.

vortech inline pump - if it is a t-rex pump and its flow rate of 50 GPH (gallon per hour) will be fine. but an in-tank performance pump is always preferred because your stock in tank pump is not a high pressure rated pump.
