But to answer your questions yes you could use an LPE pump as your main high side pump in conjunction with the XFP system.

I got my hands on one and am going to try it out. XDI has been helpful so far with it.

How did it work out for you?
I need more fuel and I was hoping that this would be a good option.

It's not finished up yet. I believe his guy doing the install is working on a different solution for the oil system. I was told the Drawback to these belt driven pumps was that they were self-contained and required oil change every 1k miles.

That sounds like a pain. Thank you for the heads-up.

Those XDI belt driven pumps were pretty unreliable if memory serves. I inquired multiple times with them about running one and they were always on production hold. Cool idea but just don’t think they ever got it to where it needed to be reliability wise.

It’s still being finished. I’m having an oil feed and return made. Feed will come off the oil pressure sensor and return will be ran back down to the oil pan. The recommended oil service interval is 1k miles if racing or every year/5k miles if it’s a street car. When I talked to XDI I was told the pump failures were from people not changing the oil. They plan on making these pumps again with an oil feed provision once parts to make the pumps become readily available.

The XFP3600 system is generally pretty reliable on the Camaro platform. The Camaro runs the pump on the serpentine belt drive.

The Corvette on the other hand had lots of issues relating to the bearings in the pump because it had to be run on the supercharger belt drive which puts a ton of load on the pump bearings.

That’s weird because I had multiple notes into XDI over the past few years and they didn’t even show a Camaro application and the pump itself was always on production hold…it was XDI themselves who told me they were having issues and were trying to get to resolved…

The kit I bought had a different style belt tensioner than what was in the C7 instructions. Looks beefier

We were XDI's development partner on all of the bracketry. We designed and manufactured all of the mounting brackets for Camaro, Corvette, and Procharger(Corvette) in house.

We have more experience with the XFP3600 set up than anyone else.

We stopped supporting them when they ran into production issues and we could no longer get the pumps from XDI.

We revised the bracketry to use the LT5 tensioner due to belt slip issues using the original design that had used the LT4 tensioner.

I’m going from a 8.4/2.83 pulley setup to a 9.45/3.15 to help belt wrap. I’m interested to see how it works out with a LPE HPFP on the engine side. I’m hoping I can now max the +65 injectors out holding 25-2,600psi.

It’s almost done. All that needs done is the interchiller spacers installed with the blower, refit the air intake for the 112TB/snout and prime the engine for startup.

Looking good. Interested to see how far you can push that system…should make a ton of power.
