So before you put a returnless pump in and burn it up check your fuel rails to see if there is a return line coming off of them. I "think" what makes it difficult for the 98 setup is that the pump diameter is different, like the returnless pumps, so even though the 86-97 255walbro pumps will work they don't fit the 98 hat. When I ordered my fore dual pump hat I'm pretty sure they had two options. One for the walbro style return pumps and one for the returnless pumps.
I also ran a 90mm Lmaf in a blow through setup with 42lb injectors with no issues at around 400hp with the procharged setup. Although if you plan on upping it in the future might as well buy an 05 style slot maf and 60's from the get go.
I am running a blow through, i had a lightning MAF and when i put my car on the dyno it wasnt recording any MAF counts, so i bought another lightning MAF and it sucked the insides right out of it. So if you plan on running blow thru go with a pro-m or a p-mas MAF sensor. I am running a p-mas now and i am very happy with it

Thanks for that Fred. Good info to have! Still not sure if I'll be swapping the tank or adding a pump.

How efficient is adding an in line pump? Will it be adequate?

T-rex inline will work but is a bit noisy

Ehh, Coilpacks in the long run are less headache than COPS, and also give out some more consistent reliability.

I don't think the t-rex will be any more noisy than the chainsaw I'm putting under the hood.

I'll check it out!

Well, this sucks. All I can find for a mounting bracket is this.

http://www.superchargersonline.com/p...ber=PAX1016607

$600!!!! Wtf. Looks like I don't have any other options. The novi 1000 is pretty much obsolete these days. No one carrys them or parts for them.

Someone know something I don't know? Haha

Crap...

I would keep checking forum classifieds for a bracket.
