Get the 20amp that's all you'll need.

i just bought one and my tuner told me to make sure i got the 40v one. He said the 20v is a POS. Not quite sure why but i went ahead and spent the extra 30 bucks to get the 40v.

I was under the impression the 20v was for the Stock GT fuel pump and the 40v was for the dual GT500 pumps. This could be totally inaccurate though.

I thought the same thing...but if i had to buy it over again, I'd go with GT500 system and screw the BAP. better reliability imo

It depends on application and the tuner. I have GT500 pumps, dual BAP and 60# injectors. I can go into the 700's easily with no change to my fuel system as is. Most people you see here with a decent fuel system have the GT500 pumps and/or a single BAP. I could actually get away with just the GT500 pumpf for now, but in tyhe next few months I will changing some stuff around that will require alot more fuel. I just figured I would build it one time instead of adding another BAP later.

Some tuners the dual BAPs bacause the have greater flexability when tuning.

I thin the best choice is to speak with your tuner and go with what they recommend or just go all out.

Here's another option from Fore Precision that allow you to run from 1 to 3 Ford GT Supercar pumps in a full billet hat. Very cool piece, but also has a hefty price tag!
