so far it looks like we have the same fuel pump as the zl1 camaros. that is a good thing. ill have to double check with a gm dealer to be sure. but the part numbers i got from shop key match.

The Chevrolet Performance catalog lists the ZL1 fuel pump as 19258436--that has been updated to a new number: (as listed at GM Parts Direct)

19260557 - MODULE KIT
GM PART # 19260557
CATEGORY: Fuel Tank Meter Sender/Connector
List Price: $420.00
Dealer Cost:$216.30

DESCRIPTION: MODULE KIT

From catalog (page 23 of 388) viewed online as PDF:
The high-capacity fuel pump module from the 2012 Camaro ZL1
drops right into 2010+ Camaro fuel tanks and supports about 600 hp.

I can't speak to the Procharger, but with my Maggie, we went with upgraded injectors, and the stock pump. I dynoed 500 to the wheels, and it's not going lean. :mrgreen:

Bob, that is good real-world information....BUT, if the stock pump ever did lay down or there was an unintended lean condition "at boost", it seems to me the ZL1 pump (if it fits) would be a reasonable mod as a safety (protection for engine) consideration.

The actual module cost difference is small, but what other differences did the ZL1 get as far as line sizing or anything else? Would be interesting to know if there ARE differences that could impact whether just adding the ZL1 pump "fixes" anything.

One thing I've not looked into is whether the PPV (or any G8 or Zeta-platform Chevy) has good fuel tank baffling. The 1LE and coming Z28--and possibly the ZL1--may have this addressed, just not sure about cars that were not as likely to be tracked, with high G-forces as part of their operating profile.

Just thinkin'......
