Fathouse Fabrications Budget Fuel Pump Upgrade

Anyone have experience with this kit? Says it'll support "over 800whp on E85 in a turbo application and over 725whp in a supercharger application" but there's a warning on the bottom of the page that says "running OEM fuel pumps at high voltages is not recommended for extended periods of time. We always suggest doing a proper return style fuel system"

Is this basically the same concept as our (2011-2014) fuel pumps as in "you might get away with it, you might not"?

Looks to me as its a 2015+ pump designed to go in a 2011 - 2014 and has a optional boost a pump. BAP devices and their reliability will be debated back and forth for a very long time

Just never seen any vendor/manufacturer claim that a non-return fuel system would support that kind of power level on E85. Its also advertised as an upgrade. Arent the S550 fuel systems identical to ours?

That does seem like a bold claim for that power level. I dont know about the S550 fuel system

I have this fathouse pump and think its a pretty good deal for e85 guys in the 650-700 hp range. It is the s550 pump with a quality adapter fitting for 2011-2014. The s550 pump has a larger fuel outlet on the pump assy which is the biggest single restriction in 2011-14 stock fuel system.
On a low boost tvs set up Ive run a JMS BAP, tps activated, and ID 1000's on e85 for several thousand miles w/out any problems and I datalog weekly. In addition this fathouse kit, if you already have a bap is less than $200 while a replacement 11-14 pump assy is over $300 alone.
Will it support 850?, i doubt it, but who cares... I would think anyone at 850+ in an 11-14 would most likely have a return fuel system and probably a forged bottom end. There are a lot more e85 converts in the 600-700 range and that's who this kit makes sense for.

Who’s your tuner? I think I’ve read somewhere that TVS setups are more efficient and have better chances of getting away with a BAP for E85. I’m on a centri setup and like you, don’t plan on going anywhere above 700. Hoping more people tried this setup chime in. Especially the centri owners.

I tune the car myself with hp tuners. Sorry I cant answer your question on the centri fuel demand. I had a D1SC procharger on a foxbody years back, but that was a different era all together

This is pretty cool and seems like a great option on a budget

Is there headroom left or are you close to maxing out your fuel pump?
