need more fuel
My fuel pressure is dropping off starting around 5000 rpm. What is a good option to fix this. I was looking at the boost-a-pump. What does that do, just add more amps to the current pumps when needed? What have others done that work well? D1 procharger and about 500-550 @ the wheels. Thanks

Asuming your pump is in proper working order and you have the proper injectors, this should do it for 500-550 rwhp.

I ripped out the stock fuel system and made a custom one but my power level is greater than yours. Like Doug said yes the boost a pump will work. There are several models out there to choose from. Happy boosting

As stated above a BAP and Hotwire kit should do it for you!

just get a 225 pump and call it a day. If you have a early 03 or down, its take less then a hr to install. BAP will work.. but a 225 is just a little more and you know you have a good pump then.

What you have now in your setup? Stock? If you have aftermarket pump check your Fuel Filter/Pressure Regulator. I had similar issue that was fixed when it was replaced. Guess it just could not handle the flow anymore.
