Wink Fuel System Upgrade?

I will be needing a fuel system upgrade for my recent purchase. I'm wondering what would work best a Kenne Bell Boosta Pump or a GT 500 fuel pump. I need this for the obvious reason. Those with S/C please chime in as I need your input. Where is the best place to get one or the other.






Whipple HO S/C comming soon.

gt500 fuel pump is better for sure but a lot more expensive. Ive only ever heard of a few people having a boost a pump fail but neither of them was at WOT so their engine was okay. the gt500 system by itself with 60lb injectors can handle 650rwhp.

edit: the stock pump is actually find up to a certain point... just depends how much power you are actually wanting out of the whipple.

I would do both the gt500 fuel and a bap. reason is that the pumps are for higher HP rating and the BPA is so that the volatage to the pumps is constant and at a maintained level, rather than relying on the FPDM. =)

might seem overkill, but it actually helps.

Just go with the GT500 fuel system and be done with it. I sent you a PM on where to get the setup for under 600 dollars.

If interested I removed my GT500 fuel system from my Saleen Extreme. The system had 2400 miles on it when removed. If interested please email me at fbrocatto@heico.com.

I have the BAP w/ stock pump. IMO waste of money unless you want to stay with <450rwhp. If you want to go over that better off just buying the GT500 setup. I am about to purchase it.
