I didn't think it would be good to pull fluid that far from the tank. Pump looks to be in front and tank in back. Pushing it would be a different story but to pull it would be a bigger chance of it loosing its prime.

You aren't pushing fluid from the tank to the pump. It is gravity fed. If you put the pump in the rear the response time will be slower due to the lines being so long and needing time to fill up

I understand this, it is harder for the pump to suck fluid than to push it. Fluid such as water/alky/meth doesn't compress. The lines dont expand either becuase they are braided so responce time isn't a issue. The pump is only suppose to be 18 inches away from the fluid being pulled otherwise if air gets in it will loose it prime. Being farther than 18 inches away make the probability of this happening greater. Doesn't matter if it is gravity fed or not the car isn't always on perfectly flat land. Just a consern since all other kits specifically state the placement of the pump being close to its source.

I might take you up on that offer, if you still need a 05' car...let me think for a week, sounds very tempting right now, as I need one too....does it come with free install too?

I would like to hear more from AMS about this, as I am a little concerned about this set-up as well with having the pump so far away from the Fluid.

The system has two integrated LED's on is a single channel that lets you know what the system it low. Works just like a gas light.

The second LED is a two channel system, First the light turns red to let you know that the system is operational. Once the pump reaches optimum pressure under WOT it will turn that same LED Green. This way not only do you know that your pump is working but its working at the right pressure.

Not wanting to be too mean ... first is I really like the pictures, they are super informative.

How low off of the ground is that pump? One of the things I get slightly worried about is the 'scrape' potential of this pump unit.
