Ok, what I'm about to say has been told to me by LPE, and not something I heard. They suggest running the BAP before the fpcm so that it itself doesn't have to pull the extra amps that the BAP actually needs to up the voltage to the pump. But, this is the exact opposite I have read from what the new Camaro owners are doing which have a fpcm and a variable voltage pump as we do. They run theirs after the fpcm and before the fuel pump. With the reading I've done on the camaro forums, they too have been having the same issue with the installs on BAPs when ran before the fpcm. This is all what I have read and been told by people that have done these before, but only on camaro's. If it can be done on them with the same fuel set up as us, I don't see why it would be impossible to do on our trucks. I will be getting a BAP probably toward the middle of this month, and I WILL find out how to make this work on my truck.....hopefully.

Also, from what I can tell on their website and by their install directions, ADM also installs the BAP after the fpcm. LPE says that installing them like that will eventually burn up the fpcm because it makes the fpcm pull more amps and work harder to feed the BAP. This is all hearsay (concerning our trucks) and from what I have read online, but Im trying to find out as much info on this as I can for all of us wanting to do this type of install. If anyone has anything to add that Im overlooking, havent read, or from personal experience with the BAPs, please chime in here.

me personally, keeping it simple works a lot better in the end. IMHO. cranking voltage to the pump and over driving it shortens the life of it. this is a given. it's like cranking 14 volts in a 7.2 volt rc car. fast as ***** for a while, then the motor fries.

the aeromotive 340 pump is a good pump, not e85 friendly though. the surge tank being fed by the stocker and the 044 feeding the rail is good for 800 to the tire on race gas. triple intank 255's will support over 800 on e85. this is also on a return style system.

if you want to keep it somewhat "stock" style and still have the volume, the surge tank would work great and have fuel for days.

im not a huge fan of bap's. the ones i have delt with lead to issues.

Turns out aeromotive pumps will not work they said they have not worked on the flex fuel pumps on trucks and it's a total different animal that the 2010 and up camaros only people that have tried and actually done this is hennessey performance but they are not allowed to give info I can understand but kinda sucks, the shop is going to remove the fuel system to study it more and see what can be done

I like area47's idea and smokeshow proved 2 stock pumps work well too. Eh, its all in what your budget is and your wants
