Fuel Pump.....
I keep hearing and reading different stories about a fuel pump. Some say yes you need it, some say no, some are like "If you want it can't hurt.". Well, this is HMT and I'm not into spending money on something that isn't needed. I would figure it would more or less depend on the set-up of the vehicle. Any comments or opinions are welcome guys! Thanks!

Re: Fuel Pump.....
On my old setup I had a MSD inline pump. When I built the new motor and went to TurboEdit I just left the inline pump in there because everybody said it was good to be on the "safe side", you don't want to run out of fuel. I have had some problems with the car(all my fault for trying to tune without a WB 
) so I finally orderd a LM-1 WB and next week I will be tuning it the right way. In the meantime while I am waiting for the WB I thought I would try taking the inline pump out, it makes WAY too much noise and maybe it is part of the reason that the car runs to rich. Well I have been driving for about a week without the inline pump and the car runs alot better. We will see how it goes when I start tuning the car. Right I am not pushing it to hard because I am just running a base map.

Well ya see, I found a decent deal on a Wlabro Inline Fuel Pump (since its inline it should be easy, right) and I asked what model # and all and he hasn't gotten back to me yet. I plan on running 8 psi on a .42/.48 T3. So will I be alright and just upgrade later down the road for more boost? How much can stock handle anyway? Thanks!
