Help with fuel boostapump. What to do
I have a 07 ls2 with ls3 heads and intake. Texas speed cam long tubes. Off road exhaust and a p1 procharger with 72lb injectors. What do I need to do about fuel supply. Will a boostapump work or do I need a bigger pump. What hp do you think I will get on a safe tune. Thanks for any info.

With the add on connector ($8)on the right hand side of the page. That will make your life easier.
I dont know the rest of your combo, but I would say that a 550 is possible, but there is a lot of room for error and variables on different things, for example the health of your engine, mods, weather, tune, etc.

But yeah, get the harness and connector kit through Racetronix. Lots of places to buy the BAP. A&A sells them: http://www.aacorvette.com/performanc...dshp47t11a2bp5

You should have no problem making that power with the blower.
That setup could make nearly 500whp with a good NA cam alone. You won't need much boost to make your goal. You will be surprised what those ls3 head will make.

I would normally look at different places, but the best price for the bap I found was at a mustang parts retailer and ebay. I ended up buying a barely used one dirt cheap. As for the harness, racetronix has it's own site http://www.racetronix.biz/itemdesc.a...%2D008&eq=&Tp=

Boost a Pump killed my OEM fuel pump after 400 miles. My opinion is that if you have to add voltage to a pump to keep up with the demands of your engine combination then you are pushing the envelope too far. It may buy you some time but plan on a new fuel system. Check out my Threads on my Build and OEM Fuel Pump failure.

Must be tens of thousands of BAP's being used with no issues. Have one on my own car for 4 years. Any part can fail but if installed properly the odds of a BAP failing or causing damage is small.... Probably no greater than a fuel pump failing.

Anything that is designed to run on 12V and is now required to run on 16V at boost to keep up with the added demand, you are "Rolling the Dice". Some people get "Lucky" and some are "Not Lucky". It is a rather extensive job to remove the OEM pump. Dealer charges $1,700.00 to replace it. Eventually you will have to replace it or upgrade it. You are riding on borrowed time. Pay Now or Pay Later! Hopefully it doesn't melt a piston when it fails!

Personally, I have read about way more issues with intank pump changes then with BAPs, so who is rolling the dice more often?

If the BAP is set up right it the amount of time the pump sees higher voltage is minimal ( over 3 or 4 lbs of boost only) and should not be an issue.
That said, since you are one of the unlucky ones that had failure, for whatever reason, I really do understand you're point of view and am not arguing that @#$@ does happen. It sucks when it happens to us.

Another point is that a lot of fuel pumps are rated to run at higher voltage with no issue. My holleys are rated to 18.5 volts if someone wanted to do that.
