I guess there's not a whole lot of interest, because I don't think most people know what one does.

I may just wait and not install mine until I can get back with my tuner. I'm already running rich as is.

Were you seeing a drop in pressure to start with? I wouldn't think these types of pump voltage boosters would be of any benifit to a regulated setup unless you were seeing less than the regulated pressure.

I will keep an eye on this product though as I am putting together a FI setup and may need the extra umph from my Walbro 255 once I turn up the boost.

Hey Kenny, I know on mine one night out cruising, a/c was on, headlights on, I went WOT and during the initial hit, my fuel pressure dropped a good bit then climbed back up. I have only noticed that one time, but that got me interested in the volt booster. I'm running twin pumps so I'm not looking for more pressure per say, just looking to make sure if there is alot of demand on the electrical system, it wont drop pressure and go lean when I first go to the floor with the pedal.

The pumps have thier own wiring coming off them to a relay I added under the under hood fuse box. They are feeding the stock fuel lines. I did not do like most guys and run a hobbs switch, both of my pumps run all the time. Been that way for close to a year so far with no problems.

Mine worked flawlessly for over two years...then it took a dump.
I removed it and haven't replaced it or had it repaired.
I did like it though and probably will replace or repair it.
