Default Will Racetronics in tank pump support 8# boost?

I am on the fence right now about going with either a procharger or single turbo set up.
Current motor is a lq9 6.0L with stock heads and an EPS cam. Made 415 rwhp NA. I only want to be in the ~550 rwhp range and want to keep it safe, so I don't want to run lots of boost.

I have the in tank racetronix pump with wire harness. I have been told that the MSD electronic booster will allow this pump to support my fuel system needs??? I know about the dual intank with hobbs switch, but am leary if the switch were to ever fail. Also know of the option of an inline boost a pump.

Can the racetronix pump support 550 blown rwhp with 60# injectors if the voltage is cranked up going to it or do I need to go another route?

Thanks
Brad

Hey Brad

The pump setup you have would be fine for 500-550 rwhp and suggest a BAP for safety or any more HP.

I have a single pump, MSD boost a pump, 60#'s and 14 psi. Plenty of fuel.
