If you wanna play, ya gotta pay. $700 is cheap compared to a new engine due to running lean.
Boost a pump wont cut it for 500hp. $700 seems high for a pump, butI have not priced it myself.

The stock pump is rated for 500 HP (base) and I know some that run more HP than that and the pump hold up just fine. I am sure it is at the top of the duty cycle when WOT but it can and will and has been proven to hold.......just remember that if it hiccups or flows bad for any reason it can and just might cause denotation and subsequently a blown motor![&:]

It looks like you have 7k in appearance mods atleast, not to mention you're driving a $26k+ car and a $700 fuel system is too much? I just don't get it.

No way would i trust the stock pump with boost-a-pump. One hickup at WOT and you're engine is cooked. We all know the stock pumps are known for their hickups.

If you're looking for 500 crank hp, I know there are people making that on the stock pump. I just don't trust it.

Serious I think the gt500 pumps are a must. For 500 hp Id pay whatever for a pump to be safe.

Well the GT500 duals are not perfect either. I've had two separate failures with them. Luckilynoticed and correctedbefore any damage. I now have 2 GT40 pumps piggybacked to the GT500 duals. It's insane but ample (as in more than just enough) fuel supply is important.

well i get the hickups already on the stock pump,i just cant believe no one has a more affordable solution, what happened to the day when you just got a $100 walbro?$700 is just ridiculous.i plan to only push about 450 on turbo. to me, $700 is a waste of money for a fuel pump that supports 1000hp when im only going for half that,im not saying i wont need any upgrades at all,i just dont want to throw my money around with out looking at better options.$700 is more than what i spent on the turbo(t70),am i making since?#39 cobra injectors will be here soon.

is there a sure all cure for the hickups on the stock pump?

$7k in apperance mods,lol,mmm....not even close,especially since i do all my own body and paint work.maybe $3.5-$4k.

im just looking fora better option than $700,there has to be something
