A Kenne Bell Boost a pump surely will not hurt. I have been running a BAP for a few months now with excellent results.

Should be plenty. That's basically the same setup I have on mine. I don't have the AN lines (the stock v6 feed line is the same size but the return line is smaller). I'm also running a BAP but haven't had to turn it up yet.

The most restrictive parts were the two quick-connect fittings I used on the line at the engine. Checked those a couple of weeks ago, and they necked down to 1/4" where the rubber line slips onto the fitting. So I opened those back up to almost the full 3/8" again (by drilling them out).

If you're using methanol, which provides part of the fuel enrichment, that takes some more load off the fuel system too.

Maybe 550hp, will probably upgrade later, fuel rails, regulator, bap, forged pistons, and turn up the boost!! THANKS,
