Boosting 255Lph pumps capabilites with hot wire kit or Boost-a-pump

Okay so I basically have all the fuel components to keep my boosted engine happy north of 600chp. Now I really really don't want to add an inline pump to to go north of the 600chp number. I heard Ransom talking about his Boost-A-Pump setup to keep his 255HP(high Pressure) happy on his boosted car. This is a kool way to go about it but it is also alittle more expensive then going the Hotwire route.

I was wondering about running a Hot wire kit to the pump to increase voltage at the pump and keep it happy at high rpm and 600+ hp. The GM boys have been doing this for quite some time and High Performance Shops also do this when boosting cars performance. Here is a picture.



It is basically a fused 10Ga wiring kit with a 40amp relay, improved grounds and connectors. This can be had for $40 from http://www.racetronix.com/RX-G7-FPWHG.html. I'm sure you could make your own pretty easy too. All you would need to do is wire this into the fuel pump wiring and hook it up.

There are so few people here used to running cars at such power levels with custom setups that I would really advise looking elsewhere for input backed with experience.

I know that. I'm trying to suggest a different method to people who might try to get to that level or just want to make their 190Lph or 155Lph function better.
