You have no business using a boost-a-pump on a large Magnafuel pump.

Most people use these on stock type pumps for a little boost in flow.
If you need more than a 4303, you need to reconsider your design.

Bandaid fixes have no place in a serious performance build. Risking a $10,000 engine to save money on the correct fuel system makes little sense.

It costs much more to build it twice, than doing it correctly the first time.

Something is not right a MagnaFuel 4303 will make far more than that even on E85. Seen cars go bottom 8's on one with no sign of letting up. Give us some more info on your setup...or give me a call I will be happy to help figure out what is wrong.

ok, everything is double checked. pump on e85 is out of steam at 15psi. pressure stays solid at 60lbs under boost. 14.1V from the car on a run. 11.2 a/f on the gasoline scale. Im still looking at a boostapump or alky kit to add more fuel. or even twin 4303. whats recommended. Car makes 1000rwhp, but with the old alky kit but without the alky it runs out in the low 900rwhp range. im trying to get to 20-25psi but anything over 15 it drops.

What size lines are you running to and from the pump? For up to 1000hp they recommend -10 from the tank/fuel cell to the pump and- 8 from pump to regulator and back to the tank.
