Default fuel system

what are you guys using for fuel systems? I plan on running about 550rwhp for now. I was looking at building somthing like the A&A kit but was a little concerned about the pump being turned on and off with a hobbs switch, I mean what happens if the switch stops working?

Is a BAP good enough for 550ish?

Upto 700+rwhp and 15psi, I was running 60lbs injectors, KB BAP and LPE fuel pump with racetronix harness and Alky Control kit. Zero problems with that setup.

With my new build, I needed more fuel so I went with A&A return style fuel system which is boost referenced. I still kept my LPE fuel pump, KB BAP and Alky kit but I am running a lot more boost now.

How do you like the A&A fuel system? Did you upgrade the fuel rails as well?

Stock rails are fine. I will give a complete review once I pick my car up and put some miles on it.

The secondary pump comes on when the car sees boost.
