hey fellas, I've been talking to different tuners and some say Boost a pumps are a safe way to go, but recently I've ran into one or two that say Boost a pumps are playing with fire. how true is this? and had anyone have any horror story's. thanks

Like anything else, it adds complexity and another part that can fail.

They work. They allow more hp. But it's another part that can go bad or fail. If it fails at right time, could cause a lean condition. No better or worse than the old in line boosters and fmu set ups.

I use one.

No black beast here. For some reason. Tapatalk thinks I am ndog65. I'm not. I have white anniversary model 15.

We sell Fuel Pump Boosters at VMP Performance. It is typically a good idea to keep fuel safe on a boosted coyote application.

That's the one I have.

I'm running the JMS boostmax, on e85 just don't know how log the stock pump will last with that extra voltage going thru it.
