Paxton kit fuel pumps

[Mighty1]

I have the dual fuel pumps that came with the Paxton supercharger kit but once I get a SCT tune from torrie I will not be using the Paxton engine control unit which powers the pumps. Do these pumps only come on when there is boost? Is there a way to power and trigger them without the engine control unit or should I go to the dual 255s in the tank?

Thanks for any information you guys can provide

Hey Tim. This is the one that I'll be going with probably. Torrie likes it and he's the one that's gonna re-tune my truck. So, I'd rather go with what he likes to work with. And check out TNVIPER's thread in the buy/sell section. He has the injectors you'll need. And he's selling for a good price.

The duals you got with the kit don't go in the tank.

You would have to have a way to kick the 2 pumps on without the engine control unit.

I have the same unit but haven't installed it. I do have the pumps installed under the truck inline with the tank to the engine.

FYI, I do not have a Paxton, but a Roe.

The Paxton inlines can be set up to come on at boost or rpm....just need to by the electronics to do it....MSD and Kenne Bell have them.......but if I were doing it I would buy the Roe in tank setup as Santeen is.......and if you are increasing boost I have the injectors you will need to get the most HP possible..

Thanks for the advice guys I have a package deal on order from torrie that will include the sct, 69lb injectors and 2 bar map. He suggested the dual in-tank setup but I just wanted to hear what you all thought as well. I will be removing all the paxton electronics and pumps this next week I guess.

How hard is it to drop the tank to install the pumps?

255s are cheap just go that route...that is what i did with mine...unfortunately it can get expensive fixing paxton's shitty engineering...

If you have access to a lift it wont be a big deal....just make sure the tank is on the south side of E...

or take the bed off and do it from the top - thats what we did...twice....didn't flar one of the lines enough 6 bolts.

Got those Racetronic dekas too seem to be working well.

How heavy is the bed? Would that be the better way to do it? I already pumped all the gas out of the tank if that makes a difference.

is a 3 or 4 man job....or if you have a winch etc...take the gate off first. drain your blinker fluid.

You dont need to remove the bed....that would be a major job....a trans holder or some support will work...remove the left rear wheel...
