alright so yesterday i get in the car warm it up back half way out the drive way to find out theres a puddle i get out touch it then smell it wtf its gas , so right away i lift up my car found out its a clamp thats to the vortech fuel pump looking thing lol.
i fix it whatever , now today i warm up the car and my a/f are all over the place in boost !!! could it be the cold weather ?? its like 32degress outside and the only other change was the clamp and a new air filter which i had for a couple days with fine a/f ratios

I suggest you just get rid of the aux vortech pump and install a walbro instead...

Nothing should have changed then. I would check elsewhere for problems (Gauge, connections etc.)

It sounds like you have the "complete" Vortech kit which allows you to use your stock fuel pump. I don't know why advise was given to replace the stock fuel pump just because of a gas leak that you fixed somewhere else. I wouldn't change the pump if it were me, the "complete" kit comes tuned specific with your stock fuel pump.
