No one using a BAP with FI?

I am leaning towards the KB version.

Use the KB. The MSD can crank up the voltage higher and has a tendency to cavitate a walbro pump at that higher voltage from what I hear. Other pumps not too sure on.

While on paper the MSD looks better I have had both and I liked the KB better.

Boost-a-pump.

It kicks up the voltage going to the fuel pump, giving you a bit more fuel delivery with the same pump. (or letting you get the full advertised delivery by making sure you get enough voltage)

The KB (Kenne Bell) unit has an adjustable **** you mount near the driver to adjust it on the fly if you want. It also comes with an optional boost/nitrous switch to kick it up only on demand.

I was seeing around 10.5 volts at the pump without it.

Shoot me a PM, I know a place where you can probably get a pretty good deal on a BAP (either model) if you want one.

Hey MM,

Which of the casper volt boosters are a direct fit to our cars? I assume the 98 to what ever year GTP but just wanted to douple check. Definatly a great deal for around $80.

Thanks,
Dave

when i bought mine they had one that was called 'for ls1' but i believe its the one with the round tps sensor plug.

call to make sure.

i have bs3 logs that show at 80% tps my ignition voltage increases the claimed 2 volts and stays there... works for me
