Did I make mention that its going to a private extreamly reputable shop in March for exhaust work..aka..new 2.5" piping, resonator, and muffler..probably some pretty tips too
Sounds pretty good! I have some similar parts waiting to go on
I always hear people talking about hot wire kits in addition to their high flow pumps. Although no one to my knowledge makes a hot wire kit for us 96-99 guys (Full throttle & Casper’* hotwire don’t work) are you going to beef up the wiring to the pump in any way?

Beef up the wiring?
If its needed..but I kinda doubt it..that pump should put out lots..
All I gotta really watch is when she hits third gear...does the fuel pressure drop?
My bet says..nope..not anymore!

That'* the point to beefing up the wiring. The pump draws more power. The wiring is not large enough. The voltage drops and the pump runs at a lower pressure. The heavier wiring promotes a higher voltage......as much as 1.5 volts....so the pump will run faster and produce more pressure and flow.
edit...maybe it'* only for the newer Bonnes
.....maybe it'* a sales gimmick. Just reiterating what I read on the Vendor'* site.

If i was to update the wiring, it would be custom..and do-able.
Like i says though..Ive got some scanning and mechanical testing to do
Fine..heres a few pics for those of us who cant wait
lol

Looks good! Tip for touch-up (I just did this today) get it on the car and heat-soaked at idle. Spray some wrinkle into the cap, and dab it on the spots you need to with a q-tip. Works great.
I can't even tell which damn rib I touched up this morning.
