Anyone who has ever worked on a car has been in your position, and sitting cross-legged on a concrete floor with a dim shop light is its own kind of hell... Chalk it up as one of the rites of passage.

I appreciate everyone's efforts who have already done this; those of us following you are the beneficiaries! My old setup worked for a while but I expect even with a slight delay, this setup is going to be much better all the around than my stock pump running at 20V at full boost! I look forward to taking it for a drive when Rick finishes it up Saturday!

Doug you'll love the new setup.... Rick if you come into to any problems with the install just let me know because I probably had the same issue. Don't forget to cut the tab in rotate the pump counter clockwise so the fuel gauge is correct.

Rick / others - I have what may be a dumb question. I read the Camaro 5 board from time to time, and it looks like getting 600+ rwhp with just a pulley, "balancer", CAI and tune is not too difficult with the ZL-1. And that's without headers or even a catback.
I have a GXP with a more aggressive cam (but still stock) than the LSA and I'm contemplating a maggie. However, I don't see those types of numbers with other that have installed maggies. Can someone just put the pulley, CAI and tune kit on a 1900/2300 on a G8 and see these types of numbers? If not, what are the differences? I understand that with the GT cam, it creates too much boost - but i have quite a bit more lift than a GT or LSA. It seems like maggie'd GXPs are only putting down 550 range with aftermarket cams.
2009 MSM GT. Kooks mids, Corsa, CAI, Comp Thumpr 219/233 on a 114LSA and tune. 370 rwhp, 371 rwtq - Sold.
2009 PBM M6 GXP. Corsa, Rotofab CAI and tune - 404 rwhp and 404 rwtq. Maggie 2300 to come . . .
The power is the same, the motors are 6.0 vs 6.2 but it is just dynos and tunes where you see the difference. ZL1 is a completely different setup for a supercharger so getting power out if a ZL1 vs a 2300 is different. For a GXP, upgrade the valve springs, get 1.85 rockers, pulley the blower 3.0, add methanol injection, and you'll have plenty of power.

ZL1's are using the blower with the longer runners are they not?

I'll eventually follow and do a fuel pump like you have along with methanol injection.

Porting my blower this coming weekend, I have all the non-ferrous grinding bits showing up tomorrow. Any tips or anything I should be weary of while grinding away?
