What are you twin pump guys doing?

1) Both pumps full blast all the time
2) One pump on a Hobbs switch
3) One pump on a WOT switch
4) Pulse width controller
5) Other

2nd pump on Hobbs switch. If I was using Holley EFI and not the stock PCM, I'd have the Holley control it.

I drive around on a Bosch 044 pump, and the Weldon 2345a comes on when I start boosting. E85.

My last car and my current car are set up the same way using the factory PCM.
Hobbs switch that kicks on around 5 lbs., twin 450's.
Never had any issues.

On my setup we have dual in take 450's. One runs all the time. The second is triggered through the Holley to come on at 70% throttle.

Runs on e85 as well

Using three 450 pumps. Runs one pump then the second and third come on based on boost via a Hobbs switch and Fora system. E85 fuel.

I currently have a single Walbro 525. My neighbor uses a Boost A Pump on his Mustang. Has anyone done that with a Walbro 450 or 525? I'm looking for 700whp on E85, anyone think a fuel pump voltage booster is a viable option?

I'm interested in the Voodoo Booster. Does anyone have any experience with it?

I also have Deka 80lb injectors, seems like they might be on the ragged edge for my goal so I might go bigger.

I'd add another 525 or 450, you want a surplus of fuel supply in this case, not just enough.
Injectors, everyone seems to do well with Bosch 210's.

Used to run both on all the time (twin 450's). It heats the fuel up way to much on an hour drive - causes odd tuning and drivability problems.

Now a hobbs switch turns on the 2nd at 2 psi.
