GOING FOR 800 RWHP

Not been reading every post so not fully informed on your progress. Sort of on a similar quest. Come to the conclusion that ultra-modding requires lots of patience and progress can be very slow. One of my last mods, was a trailer. We put so much stress on these vehicles (high boost levels etc) that something is bound to break, snap or just come loose at the strip. Better to have all these issues now though. You'll be in great shape for the arrival of cooler/drier air in a month or so, down here in the deep south. Keep it going...

Well next week I will be picking up my car and riving it around 600 miles home. Hopefully all is well from then on and I can enjoy my baby again.
EBR, I thought 3-4 months was rough. 1.5 years would be miserable.

Started the car today and fuel presure is fine, so I pulled the pumps to ck for mishaps but all was well. Went for a short drive and the pumps are working fine . What the hell could cause this one day its fine and one day it is not ? I will have the new SJB on Tue to hopefuly solve the other issues with the windows and radio seems there is a TSB for this problem from water getting in the car . I hope this is the problem with the fuel pumps as well remember If I pull the relays under the hood then these things work fine and the fuel pump relay and fog lamp relay (2nd for the GT 500 pump fpdm) so maybe the SJB is affecting everthing.

Update
Well guys its been a busy 5 or so weeks at work but I have managed to finaly get the issues worked out . First off the elec. problems with the windows radio and the ck charging system light coming on was the Buss fuse box under the hood it had a few busted terminals one of wich was the 12 supply for the smart junction box inside the car. So with that replaced the fuel issues where the next item to tackle . While on the dyno for the breakin tune I last posted the FP DC was at 85% with the GT40 pumps and MSD BAP so when I got the car home I found out the MSD unit was indeed only powering 1 fpdm . I then called JPC and the said to just split the wire to both fpdms and after talking to a few members here this can and has been done , but I was not to iterrested in doing that so I wired up this new setup with a 8ga. supply from the 175a batt terminal in the trunk and ran that to a 75a relay that is trigered by the green and yellow wire from the JDM harness (thisand the conectors is the only JDM harness part used)that comes from the Inersa switch then 12ga wires out to the fpdms then new 12ga shielded wires to the twin GT40 pumps in the GT500 basket in the tank then 2 -6 lines out that tee to a -8 line to the engine comartment then tee to 2 -6 lines to the rails . After doing all of this the car has a .34 (34% )dc at idle and at WOT is at only .60 (60%)and the MSD units give me 18v full time and up to 22v at 30 psi . So I am very happy to say the least about the direction I selected to withon the fuel setup at this point.The car will go back again tomarrow to finish the street tune and hopefully hit my mark of 600+rwhp for the street tune at 15 psi on 93oct . Here are some pics of the new fuel setup.

My next goal 600 rwhp for the street and ~700 on 100 octane.
It won't be for a while but eventually.

Why didn't you guys just go with the dual GT500 fuel pumps instead of messing with those BAPs? If you plan to keep adding to your cars until you have crazy amounts of HP then those BAP will get maxed out and then you'll have to yet again change out fuel systems.
