Looking for suggestions on either continuing running a new stock replacement fuel pump with Paxton booster, or possibly upgrading.
My tuner looked at my datalogs, and he said he thought my fuel pump may be on it's way out, and today on my last pass of the day I threw a lean code on both banks, so I better address the situation before it costs me more than a fuel pump, or fuel system.
Is there a simple pump upgrade that is commonly done with these cars, or should I just put the car away for the rest of the season and do a complete fuel system? I'd be happy with 600+hp for quite a while, but would hate to put a new stock pump in her, and have the same thing happen all too soon. because of having to utilize the pump booster, as the car only has around 34K milres on her now, and can't imagine it going south yet if it wasn't being boosted with the voltage booster, maybe I'm wrong here?
I know a lot of you guys will suggest a complete fuel system, so if I go this route, and anticipate maybe going with flex-fuel / E85, will my ID1000's be enough injector to support mid 600 rwhp with E85? If not, it's a "no go" because that's simply too much money for injectors again.
Another thing that kind of turns me off with a return style fuel system, aside from the work, and money, is that it heated the fuel up pretty badly on an older return style fuel injected Mustang I had years ago. After installing a larger pump, the car left me on the side of the road more than once until the pump would cool back down, and don't really want to deal with that ever again, maybe these newer aftermarket systems have come a long ways?
