    I've been considering that as I have a '70 Mustang tank in mine with my FiTech. Would free up some room in the engine compartment if I remove the FiTech fuel command center.

    I have a MeterMatch module on my fuel gauge to dial in the calibration. I guess you could run any arm and dial it in with that. I see they cost $75 now, back when I bought mine they were $50.

    I'll vouch for MeterMatch as well. I trust my fuel gauge now! I talked to the company and they are good people.

    Looks good, and the Hydra Mat is very effective.

    Thanks guys! I went ahead and pulled the trigger and got the holley in tank pump. I will be running a new Spectra f30 19 gallon tank with it. I likely wont add a return line. I talked to the holley tech line and this pump will adjust pressure based off need so there is no need for one. Soon my car will be running the sniper system.

    So this is both the pump and sending unit? Doesn't it need a baffle around the pump to prevent starvation on launch, stop and turns?

    Correct this is the pump and the sending unit. It has a hydro mat which acts as a primary filter and apparently helps with starvation as well.

    Excellent, looking forward to hear more feedback once you get it installed.

    Installed the sniper and the fuel pump. They work great! The pump is a royal pain to get into the fuel tank. Many choice words were spoken. Now I have to figure out why the gas gauge is reading over full with 5 gallons of gas in the tank o_O

    there are different arms for different size tanks. but it did go in well and no leaks because that rocks. also if using factory harness check all wiring and grounds.
