Agreed

Lift pump??? If you got a raptor or fass or something, you can just leave the stock one on the side of the engine if you want, it is bypassed but its jusy extra weight imo...

what pump do you have to put on? Your going to need to drop the tank at some point and put in a draw straw or sump, if that is where yours is. Only ones that have them in tank were dealer fix's that didn't work. So just be sure you have one in there.

^^ what he said ^^

Have to drop the tank to take the junk pump out or install a Vulcan Performance Drawstraw V, or this: http://www.vulcanperformance.com/Dra...w-p/jlfmds.htm

Maybe its just me but I think its easier to pull the box off to get to the tank then to pull the fuel tank by itself.

At one time, I had the factory POS in the tank and a block mounted pump. It had lots of flow, too much though. 29PSI at idle, and dropped to about 22PSI at WOT. If you have a rail mounted pump with a regulator you may be able to get away with keeping both, otherwise I think you will run into the same high pressure issue as I did.
