Fuel pump Booster

Anyone have experience with this item. Looks interesting and maybe help out with fuel issues.

They work great. They add voltage to the pump with reference to boost. What do you need to know about them? RETed runs a Kenne Bell version, swears by it.

I'd keep the voltage at or around 16VDC (Kenne Bell maxes out at 16VDC) if you're paranoid, but the fuel pump should be able to take 50% more voltage in very short bursts (up to 18VDC).&nbsp The MSD unit is adjustable ratio, so you can control the rising rate of the voltage; you need to also take into account your maximum boost level.&nbsp On FC's, it's paramount to make sure you have a stable "full" voltage signal to the fuel pump - age and corrosion can induce voltage drops that can lead to lower-than-normal fuel pump capacities, which has been implicated to a lot of blown engines; these voltage regulators make it easy to "fix" this problem, instead of doing rewire jobs.

I'm going single right now and I'm planning on running about 22# of boost. I've got 850 pri and 1600 sec. I have the Warlboro HP fuel pump and was worried that the pump would not be enough for my setup. I also have the SR RRFPR. Do you think this would be a good upgrade if my pump is not enough? Is there a better pump out there for about the same price that would satisfy my fuel needs? Just looking ahead in case my pump is not adequate.
