My 98 EO svt has been having problems recently in the past month with making power past 5500 rpms or so ( the thing is just so damn slow past that point ). I'm figuring it has to be a dying fuel pump. Well I went out to check the pump and what not but low and behold the top metal seal above the pump was all rusted. After working at that for a couple of hours I still can't get the thing to budge. I was thinking of just adding in an in-line fuel pump to compensate for the dying one. Would this be an ok thing to do?

If so, what pump would you buy and where would you place it?

Thanks

From what I have seen from other posts, when they do that it is the secondaries not operating properly. Its called a IMRC control. I beleive when these mess up the power is really bad past 4,000 rpm's

Just my two cents worth. Do a search and it will most likely bring up a whole bunch of stuff that will lead you in the right direction.

Secondaries do open, and the car makes good power till about 5000-6000, after 6000 the car is a total dog. TTT

The inline pump is a bad idea. Don't do it.
Try changing the fuel filter.
