Pump will be fine. Don't know about controller. I do have a old data recorder & it still works perfect, after 10 years with a 16V system. I would call Meany before I burn it up, just in case.

All I have ever heard is that aftermarket computer systems like 16V's better than 12 so I would venture to say you will be fine.

The box will be fine, I have run every box from John on 16 with a alt. My cars run 17-17.3 all thru the run.

Powermaster here also.
I have had a rash of tailight bulbs burn out at times, but the vibration from the solid motor mounts may do that.

Maybe that is why mine stopped working. I got in it one day and nothing. LOL

I was kinda scared at first so I pulled the valve cover and it is still there. LOL I run without my gauge working. I figured when you see the gauge go to low it is to late anyway.
