upgraded fuel pump question
Hi does anyone know any benefits of having installed an upgraded fuel pump in our cars? even without forced induction?
will the fuel economy go down?

It's pretty straightforward to install one... however there is no need unless you are going F/I or N2O.
Basically an upgraded pump supports higher flow-rates for a given PSI... but really our fuel-system is limited by the injector-rating... rather than fuel-flow.
On an NA car... I doubt an upgraded fuel-pump is needed unless there is a significant displacement change or induction-method change.

thanks allmotor... its b/c im planning on going the N2o route...
i was reading up on the ZEX site and they reccommend it.... what if im planning only a 55shot? should I spend the extra money to upgrade the fuel pump?
I know that the plugs will definitely need replacing.. but not sure about the pump.
