Default New Injectors and Boost-A-Pump question

I am getting some 44lb Racetronix injectors (couldn't pass up the sale they are having right now) and was considering the Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump. Anyone used the Boost-A-pump? How do you like it? I am lazy and just don't want to drop my tank. My setup right now is the GT-35 with meth injection and 5psi of boost(creeps to almost 7 by the time its ready to shift). With the bigger injectors and a bigger meth nozzle, what boost do you think I will safely be able to run? I don't have a FMIC yet, thats probably coming in March.

Cool

With the same injectors, Walbro 255LPH in line pump and STS meth injection I am running 10 psi on the high boost setting. I have the 60-1 turbo and have been running 10 psi since August but basically just for WOT runs that I have been logging. Had it on the high boost setting for a while yesterday just for fun.

Be sure to keep an eye on your tune. I think you will need to ditch the Predator tune and get a dyno or street tune from a qualified tuner. If you cannot find or get to a tuner you should at least get a Nelson or Westers mail order tune. If you get a mail order tune you should probably also get tuning software or logging software and keep an eye on IAT's, timing, A/F ratio or O2 readings, fuel trims, MAF and KR. I generally log RPM, Spark, IAT, Throttle Position, A/F or O2s ,KR and MAF. Don't get too greedy on the timing until you know your tune is reasonably safe.

Good luck and have fun.

I think the Boost a pump will keep up. But, I wouldn't use it without a fp gauge to be sure.
