Sounds like your hydra locking. Is it always when you get to 200 temp? What kind of fuel pump did you put in? Im wondering if the pump is getting hot and seizing up

Nothing against you but I would never by an electrical working part that is hard to get to from AZ. Thats why you get the lifetime warranty on most of their products because most of the time they either dont work, work for a small time and die, or work whenever they want

If you can get your hands on a fuel pressure gauge I would check at the fuel rail to see if your fuel pump is actually working when it shuts down. I think you are having an issue with either the fuel pump or maybe even the fuel pump relay if you havent checked that yet.

I myself would get a Walbro. You can send Shon an email or PM from here. He owns Herron Performance and is a sponsor here and has some good deals on some parts.

Well dont just go on my word on it. Try to test a few things before jumping in and buying a new pump. You can check the coil and wire pretty easy and cheap if you have someone that lives around you with an LT1 and will let you swap parts to check them.
