I would go with a inline pump instead of the boost-a-pump.The boost-a-pump increases voltage to the stock intank pump and does a great job of increasing volume,but the intank pump doesn't live very long with the increased voltage.With a boost-a-pump I went thru 3 stock fuel pumps in 6 months,please reconsider using a boost-a-pump.

You may not need it, so far my stock fuel pump is keeping up with the 6 liter,whipple and 43pound/hr injectors(knock on wood)
But if you need more,i would do as Whitt suggested,go with an inline pump instead of a boost-a-pump.

bigguy .. off topic, but I think Sunday is a go. We're gonna start on the tranny tomorrow, I don't know how late we will work since it got so freakin cold out, but we will have Saturday too.

As for the pump, I would do like whitt said.

yep, skip the pump and get a fuel presure gauge, then if you do need more fuel a $120 inline will go a long ways, like 600rwhp.
