Glad you got the car back soon enough to enjoy it before you go back to Afghanistan Josh!

He wasn't alone. I had to stop at 2 gas stations to put in water on the way home. It makes me glad it's a pretty easy job to replace it.

One of the hoses from the pumps to the hanger tore during a pass, which made it go lean, knock and lift the head.

I use a WOT lean alarm, it’s an annoying loud buzzer, to protect my setup. You have an AEM so it’s easy to add. Fuel pump problems suck, twin pump failure problems are even worse! You’re lucky it was only a lifted head. I can help PM me if you’re interested.
