Before I did the Vulcan kit, I drilled out my stock banjo bolts on my drill press. Total time was probably 5 minutes for all of them. Just enlarge the existing holes. It worked pretty well.

Later, my lift pump died, so I just went with a new pusher and bigger lines to fix the problem of junky OEM pumps.

Go with a scotty system or a vulcan kit. I recommend Scotty (that's what I have and it has worked out very well).

Vulcan.

The Scotty kit seems to use better quality fittings, but doesn't address the poor location of the pump.

I was 1psi roughly better with the larger banjos, but now I'm using AN fittings (partial Vulcan, partial my own parts) and I'm another 1psi better. I noticed the difference more when I get on it hard. It doesn't drop nearly as much as it use to. From idle to cruise it only drops about 1lb and another 1-2lb are WOT.

I'll sell you my larger banjos (purchased from Genos) for cheap if you still want to go that route. I did at the time, but now they sit.
