Boost-A-Pump on stock SS Fuel pump to run E-85???? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

13SSCamaro · 05-12-2018, 02:58 PM

Anyone using just a Boost-A-Pump on a stock SS Fuel pump? I have the mods in my sig, and about to add the mods on the bottom line on my sig. I was told I should be able to get enough out of my stock fuel pump if I add a Boost-A-Pump. Is anyone able to confirm that or is anyone in here running one?
I am estimating power output to be around 525rwhp and 485rwtq
I already have bigger injectors and the flex sensor to install with the Heads and intake

Any reason as to why not

Its a bandaid for an insuffecient fuel system. They are known to fail and most of the time when you find out its because you hurt an engine.

Im gonna keep looking at reviews but I cant imagine Kenne Bell and Lingenfelter backing something that is not good. I do not want to drop over $1,000 on upgrading the fuel system when i dont need too much more. Unless there is another fuel system upgrade I can do for under $500

ZL1 fuel pump is an inexpensive option but im not sure if it will be enough for e85 with your mods

I run E-85 with a ZL1 pump. After talking with Dxtuning I was told a ZL1 pump will be fine for n/a applications and E-85.

Don't you have to purchase a ZL1 FPCM as well to go with the ZL1 fuel pump?

I didn’t. Just bought it from partstaxi and my tuner dropped the fuel tank to install it. From what I understand it drops right in where the SS pump was with zero mods. I’m sure the tune will adjust flow rate

If you watch the classifieds every once on awhile a lpe or equivalent pump(cts-v twin pump) is listed, usually its someone upgrading to a bigger system

Nothing wrong with BAP unless it’s improperly adjusted. If your going to go this route, at least use the ZL1 pump...
