put that at the top of your list of things to get...I put it off for a long time and was just lucky...
at the power you are running, you could prevent going boom just by monitoring the wideband...
you will watch it more than anything else...at least if you have it where I do...

So it boosts the entire electrical system not just the fuel pump circuit?

I see this as good for the fuel pump and ignition system from a performance standpoint but it could be really bad for any other piece of equipment with an un-regulated power supply that is expecting to see no more than 14V.

I was thinking that too, but there are so many guys running them, not just LS1's. Maybe thats why its only a 2.2 volt increase? They researched and determined that was a safe increase
