Default LS trucks return style complete module option interest?

We have been offering the 255lph and 340lph venturi style pumps for fbodys for a little bit and are working on a single 495lph pump kit.
So with that in mind, i wonder how many of the truck guys either already return style 99-03ish or going to return style would be interested in 340 and 495lph pump kits made with brand new modules that also include venturi setups.. The venturi keeps the module fed with fuel and with the new lower current draw on the racetronix 495lph pump (406lph at 60psi) you'd have some serious hp capabilities with a single pump and hotwire harness.
Just testing the waters of course, but it would only be for the OG return style since there are literally so dang many different pump modules for the trucks and then even more for the SUVs. This would be return style trucks only and maybe if enough interest return style tahoe and suburban since they basically only have 1 module a piece.
Rough idea on price would be low $400 range with new hotwire harness and flat connector pigtail for body harness side.

Any interest?

Gen 4 truck I’d be interested in one for my walboro 450 still trying to figure out how to modify my bucket without totally screwing it up and don’t really want to. Id pay for the ease if it’s a good product that works correctly. I already have a Hotwire kit for the 450. Just need a bucket with feed return and evap and the Venturi setup properly

We can do modules for any of them BUT we cannot keep them all ok hand so they would be made to order with a 3 to 5 day wait in some cases. There are just too many options and too many modules and sometimes even the vin number doesn't show you all you need to know but the VIN plus RPO label usually can.
I am going to check on the 07.5+ kits with the fscm/fpcm and see if they actually need a hotwire harness. In some instances they dont or cant. So that would be less cost due to not having to need the hotwire.

I would say alternatively you can send the pump to us and we assemble, BUT too many people are buying knock off/counterfeit/fake/underperforming pumps either knowingly or unknowingly and we cannot take that responsibility on. That is why we are ONLY dealing with racetronix pumps on these. They have known fuel curves and charts and are tried and true, plus the options are pretty thorough. We are the only company right now with a venturi 4xx pump which is a huge deal.

I love the idea of this. I’ve got one of those racetronix kits with a 255lph pump I bought off a member several years ago and haven’t installed yet. For my goals I don’t think that pump would be enough on 93

Its really all in how you set the system up honestly.
Our owner has a procharged c6 making about 600 rwhp on a 255 kit with hotwire.
We jumped up to just 340 to keep matters simpler but also because some flex fuel setups can run up to what a 255 will do so adding a more expensive option there isnt always a good thing. Plus the 340 is only slightly more than the 255 in cost and physically the same so its an even trade.

I have the fpcm on my truck. I’ve heard they just turn it off or delete it in the computer. Doesn’t the Hotwire kit just basically replace stock wiring with bigger gauge wire? I was going to just hit wire this off my alt to the pump and then have it switched from the fp fuse? How much does it cost for the 450 and module for my year truck?

The hotwire kit not only uses larger wire but also a heavier duty relay and redundant larger grounds as well as larger gauge in tank harness.

We are not trying to shake up the entire performance world here, just offer more options.

As far as the fuel pump control module, removing it/bypassing it seems more involved than most people would be up for plus the custom tune to remove codes and turn off in ecm system and adjust in fuel parameters.

Ill look into it, but we are trying to offer simple options that are basically plug and play or close.

Ok iam interested in this if you get a plug and play set up where I can hook a 450 for my setup and get 600hp consistently without fuel issues. Lmk how it goes and keep me posted. I have the walboro here I can send it if you’d like or I can try and sell it maybe but rather use it since I have it. I have the Hotwire kit for the single 450 so just need the fuel module with feed and return ports

A 450 is not needed for 600hp. A 255 or 340 would handle that easily. Just because its one or the larger pumps available does not mean just jump to it and it will be best. Thats not the proper way to build a system.
We won't be taking outside pumps and modules in like i said previously though. Too much liability and too many knock offs.
