Like the title says, the car has rock solid FP until after 15psi or so. I can pedal it and keep the boost around 15psi, and the FP will stay right with it. Go anything higher and it drops. FP also drops between shifts (quite a bit, 8psi or so) if boost is above 15psi. Boost below 15psi, FP is rock solid on shifts, etc.

So, before I pull the pump out and beat it to death with a hammer, quick questions.

The last pass I made in the car, the direct scan log shows everything normal except o2 count and voltage. Voltage down the track was 14.1. Car has a Red's volt booster. Could this cause the FP drop, or should I stick to the pump?

Two, I had a problem with the hot wire kit on the car before. It has an inline fuse that goes to the alt. and to a relay. The inline fuse melted itself. Before it melted the car was doing what it is doing now, popping. I replaced that, and all was well. Wondering if that is my problem? Going to put a Casper's hot wire on it to make sure... no biggie there.

Other than that, going to replace the fuel filter.

Any other input? Sounds like a bad pump (or wiring to pump) and a bad alt. What's everyone else think?

Thanks in advance. :cool:
 
Check the fuel filter first, if not replace the pump awith a 340 there pretty cheap from Full throttle.

I was thinking a double pumper setup...

Car runs consistant 120mph on low boost...

How far will a 340 go?
 
Well if your already running the 120's you may want to go DP(just to be safe). I ran 132 with a double pumper last year.tTe fastest i went with a single pump was 122, I changed to the DP when i put the 72 turbo on to be safe, But Len Freeman was running high 128's or so with a single 340 and a volt booster.
 
If it is the pump, the double pumper is what I've been leaning towards.

Though, after buying a converter, rebuliding the tranny and having the turbo rebuilt I'm tired of spending money on it right now.

It has a single XP now, I may just replace it with another.

It also has a volt booster...
