It hadn't been on a dyno, I have a metal to metal sound like a rod knocking. So I'm waiting until I have another engine ready for it before I take it to the track

You want the 340 with the center inlet (pn 11140). When I installed mine I had to cut the line going from stock pump to fuel filter. The new fuel line provided is too short to run so I had to order some gates submergable fuel line (this is important) and put hose clamps on the ends. Then you need to cut the 2 plug wiring harness running from stock pump to top of bucket and solder the new AM harness in. The AM pump comes with a rubber boot, I slide this on the top of the pump and then pushed the pump down in the bucket an made sure it was snug. Then put new sock on bottom of pump and then put the whole unit in the bottom part of the bucket and you're done.

** just make sure you use submergable fuel line! I made the mistake of not doing this the first time and the regular line had swollen up and popped off the fuel filter and I had to drop the tank again...don't make the mistake I did haha

Btw this is for a returnless fuel system, not sure what you have since your truck is an '02 with a '07 motor...

What size pulley are you going to run? Also you can put a A to A intercooler on fairly easy. I actually just got done putting to exact same blower on and the intercooler helped alot. I'm running a 3 3/8 pulley.

Send me a part number or the site where you got the intercooler cause I am definately interested. I will measure my pully sizeabd let you know. It is a 10lb pulley for the 5.3s is all I know. I maintain 10lbs and peak at 11lbs. In sure the 6.0 will be lower tho. Do you think am intercooler is woould get me to the 550rwhp mark?
