Well, I'm not Brian though I did meet him once and go for a ride
And I don't think he'll mind me copying this response of his to the list. I also did this, although in Az I have been hassled to NO END trying to get my car to pass. I've passed the sniffer but I'm still working on the visual
Anyway, hope this helps, and I can add something if this isn't clear. I will say this. I have learned that these pumps are NOT designed to run full time. I have spoken to some LS1 guys and I was told that the duty cycle is 2min otherwise you'll burn the pump up. I'm not sure of the year. Look on ebay, I picked mine up for $30 "smog pump".Then look for corvette, camarro, impalla etc anything with that engine. Good luck.
Here's Brian's response:
What I did was locate the pump in the back passenger-side corner (of the
firewall) near the wiper switch and wiring harness. The 'Vette pump has
three leads on it -- Red, Orange, and Black. When I was on the floor
goofing with it, I discovered that if I applied power to both Red and Orange
at the same time, along with ground to Black, the pump would run
continuously. So, what I did was configure a PWM on the E6K (Dual Intake
Valve; this will let the user configure the pump to be on in a specified
range of engine RPMs) to provide +12VDC power to the pump (to both red and
orange leads spliced together). From there, I stuck a K&N crank case filter
on the inlet of the pump (not the skinny little ones but the slight-bit
larger ones; maybe even the ones used on the smog pump kits and what not)
and then routed the outlet of the pump straight into the inlet of the
catalytic-convertor, leaving the factory one-way check valve in place.
That's it. =)

A pump from any LS1/LT1 engine will work.. that means Trans Am, Firebird, Camaro, Corvette, Crown Vic... Impala... etc.
As long as it's electric.

Yo,
I've emailed twice, both have bounced due to his mailbox being full. Just making sure where my money/TB is...
Sounds like he's busy...
