really depends on how much power you plan to push, the gt500 is the best bet, but it cost more and the installation is more, unless you install it yourself.

how safe is the boost a pump? does it put a lot of wear or load on the stock fuel pump? can the pump handle it well?

My answer is both, but for now I would buy the GT500 pumps and add a BAP later if you need it.

You need to find someone to tune your car. STS canned tunes suck.

Get the GT500 pumps from Brenspeed and install them yourself. Its a very easy install, it only took me about an hour total.

The cheapest i've seen the gt500 pumps for is about $700. The KB BAP is a good alternative and i've never heard of any problems with them. If you don't mind spending the extra money go with the gt500 pumps cause its the best setup. If your trying to save a little money the BAP will be just fine.
