I rewired the in tank wires. From what I understand, the stock connector likes to melt with too much extra power. I rewired using 12AWG mil spec PTFE insulated wire. I then sealed the PTFE washers with B 1/2 which is a fuel tank sealant used on aircraft. It dries to a rubbery extremely fuel resistant pressure safe seal in just 30 minutes.

The completed product. I also ran a new 12AWG power wire directly from the battery to the pump and used a relay with the factory power wires to trigger it. I made a jumper for the fuel pump resistor. The plug for the fuel pump resistor looks to be the same one as the air pump, I'm probably going to end up ordering an air pump plug to make a plug in jumper for the resistor instead of wires just sticking out of the plug.

This is my passthrough set up I used. PTFE shoulder washers, a 1.5" SS threaded rod [Was a little short. Next time I would use 2"], and all locking SS washers/ring terminals, and nuts

We got her up on the dyno after a 5 hour tow down to SoCal and she was tuned by Dan from Garage Life.

I sealed it up with an aircraft fuel tank sealant called B 1/2. It dries in just 30 minutes to a fuel/pressure safe rubbery seal.

Next time I would use longer threaded rod to be able to double nut the terminal so it's more "removable". The in-tank wires are mil spec 12AWG PTFE insulated wires.
