Yes it is not Aeromotive requires a step down box for street use.

Using a step down box (lowering voltage to the pump) will burn your pump up fast. The Aeromotive 16302 pulse width modulates the pump and does not lower the voltage. If your Fuel Injected I would recomend one.

If you are going to buy an Aeromotive controller wait about one month and get the new design. Part number 16306. It is rebuildable and you set the full voltage by getting the engine to the RPM and pushing a button.
