I Agree! That job Sucks any way you do it! This is the reason I went to the extreme on my fuel system. I am hoping that this will not have to be done again for a very long time. The OEM pump had 6,400 miles on it, 400 miles with the Boost a Pump. Now it needs a new pump! I am definitely not a FAN!

We can assume you were runing low on fuel pressure due to lack of volume but it's pretty hard to believe your pump went bad.

Nope! Pump definitely went bad! It was checked at 12 Volts and failed GM specs. We were going to have it warrantied by the dealer but I decided to do away with the Boost a Pump instead of doing this over and over again.

You can save some time dropping them with the rear in the car, or you can massacre one o-ring and then you have to drop it anyways. With our client's cars we like to do it the proper way and make sure no lines can be damaged.

Your pictures are coming soon too.. One of the next LS3 boosted rockets to come out of our shop

I had a feeling that was the reason you guys did it that way. I'm sure you guys can have the rear/torque tube out in 2-3 hours at most so it's probably worth doing it that way to be able to see what the heck you're doing. I damn near did a fuel system the last time I had mine out just because I saw how much easier it'd be to pull the tanks at that point

Today FSP installed the ID-850 Injectors. Plumbed the fuel regulator and fuel rail. Their new in house Fab Shop fabricated the Custom Regulator bracket.

Today Karl of FSP is doing an Awesome Job finishing up the plumbing and wiring at the rear of the car. He is also putting the drivetrain back together.

Matt from FSP would have to confirm but it is my understanding that it is North of 1,000 RWHP depending on the choice of Fuel.

FWIW my stock pump was failing at 650whp with meth but no BAP. No matter what spin the BAP guys put on their style system there's no way spinning a pump faster than it was designed and with more voltage is going to make it last any longer.

My car was surviving on meth alone at high rpm. Normal driving it would start sputtering and bucking while running lean. Roll onto the throttle and it would clear up. Dropped in the Fore unit and haven't had issues since.

I've been boosted for over 10 and in that hp area for 7 years and my only problem was burning up the fuel pump fuse block by not originally installing the Racetronix harness.

A few more pictures of the Fore Triple Install. The guys at FSP did a Awesome Job. With the engine cover on it still looks pretty Stealth under the hood.
