Does this really help in the volume of fuel coming into the engine? It is to my understanding that the stock fuel lines are only going to allow a certain amount of fuel no matter what.

Yes it will but it will only give you an extra 10-20% fuel capacity. Not necessary unless you have a forced induction setup.

If you are going for big power you will need to do the lines too. They can only handle so much volume running through them.

We have run over 800 RWHP through stock lines without a pressure/volume drop. They are fine except the most all-out combinations.

They aren't much of a restriction at 58 PSI especially on a naturally aspirated engine.

I say NO to Boost-A-Pumps. Ask any pump manufacturer and they will tell you NOT to boost the voltage. Yes, it will increase the output for a while, before it burns up the bump. That is why I am installing an RSI Dual pump this week!

I also provide dual pump setups for all late model GM cars. My price is much cheaper than the others out there & will support in excess of 1000rwhp.

My setups are fully assembled, tested & ready to install. They are also provided with a plug-n-play wiring harness, so you do not have to cut up your wiring.

Look in the Vette Parts section for more info.

Lonnie- What is your opinion of the boost a pump? I've been told they don't really effect longativity, but am not smart enough to know :givemebeer.sml: and most of the supercharger kits out there use them.

I have seen your set ups before and they are bad azz!!!:cheers:

They can shorten pump life in some vehicles.

I prefer to be safe & build the proper system instead of a band-aid fix for an undersized pump.

When you lean the engine out due to fuel starvation, it can break components. Is your engine worth cutting corners?

Thanks, that was my feeling too, but so many people use them!
