is what I’m going to install. It’s what LPE recommends. It works only under boost conditions. And that’s what I want

I know this is the cheaper and easier route. Just couldn’t do it myself. In the long run I think it’s hard on the pumps. Better off getting the right setup for the car. I went with the FORE setup on my Saleen. Not sure I will do that again or just do the ZR1 pump.

probably because the locked computer runs the second set of port injectors only when needed. Our computers can’t read that signal

Thanks for the info. First I heard of this. Guess I’ll have to look more in to it. I had heard it was basically plug and play.

What does the boost a pump actually do to increase the fuel and why will it hurt the pump?

It sends extra voltage to the pump basically making it pump more fuel. Not sure what the failure rate is but I personally feel it’s safer just to get a pump setup that’s adequate for the fuel needed. I’d hate to have a failure and break something internal trying to save a few bucks.

stronger, it’s not night and day difference because of my set up before. It’s definitely a stronger pull. Plus it runs cooler spins slower and the IAT are lower. Much more efficient S.C. and room to grow. Glad I did it.

I’ll Waite and see after the boost a pump is installed and re tuned on a cooler day. My tuner said if the fuel pressure is good we may go back to the 15% pulley.
