I have a brand new in the package CASPER LT1 Hotwire kit for 93-97 LTx cars. This item was purchased new and never used, still in the original plastic. I will be selling the item for $65, plus shipping. PM me for ship details...
The Casper Hotwire kit will now be sold for $60 + $8 shipping to anywhere in the CONUS (continental united states). Grand total of $68 for a brand NEW KIT (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I will take the 3% hit on paypal as an added bonus to the buyer.

QUOTE (RVachon @ Oct 6 2008, 04:23 PM)  Excuse my ignorance, but what does do exactly? Upgrades the wiring size for power to the fuel pump. There is a known weakness in the wiring harness to the fuel pump on our cars which sometimes causes low voltage to the pump. I have never had any problems with this, however apparently it is common enough that they have created a plug and play harness replacement kit for it. Casper direct price is $72.95 on this kit. BTW, Caspers is a good place to find those unusual harnesses and plugs for our cars. I have purchased a couple of Opti pig tails (long strange plug that goes into the opti unit) from them. Most of the aftermarket sellers of this buy their stock from Caspers. bock |

Hmm...interesting. So if I"m running an aftermarket pump like the Walpro 255, and using it as a dedicated race car, this might be something I should be looking into.
Being stuck in 3rd gen/carb land means I have alot to learn about the 4th gens, and the FI stuff. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) |

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) This item definitely can't hurt you in any way, especially for $65 (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) There has been some collected data showing a slight gain in horsepower and torque. Usually this gain is from the fact that the pump wants to operate at the higher voltage, it is more effecient in that range, producing a few extra HP/TQ ( as a side benefit ). There are some valid reason for running a kit like this on any LT1 car. The only reason I'm not using this setup, I just received my dual in-tank setup from Lonnie's Performance and it comes with the HOTWIRE kit as part of the package. Thanks for your interest, Michael |

It should help the pump live longer by reducing the voltage drop to it and heat buildup. But other than that, yes, there can be a bit of a HP boost, even to stock cars. |

Agree with what your saying and that is probably the best reason to do this upgrade on a street car (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thanks for the bump. |
