Do I Need A Bap?

[stprorolla49]

I've got everything together right now to get my blower project started in 2 weeks, and I really would like to know if a BAP is necessary for my power level. Here's my combo:

Novi 2000 @ 9-10 lbs (3.25" pulley)
CX Racing 3" core intercooler, 3" piping
VMP HPX slot MAF
Vortech MiniRace BPV
03 Cobra 39lb injectors
Aviator fuel pump

Im looking for ~400 rwhp, no more than that. Do you think the Aviator pump is enough, or do I need a BAP. I've been reading about this pump a lot, and most people say its good to 450hp, and people have hard evidence, but some people say it won't cut it, but they have nothing to back that up. I don't want to get the car on the dyno and run out of fuel, but its another $250 I really don't want to spend if I don't have to.

You should be there just fine, your injectors are good to about 450ish rwhp, so it just depends on the dyno your getting it tuned on (some may read lower i.e. Mustang, or some may read higher, but you should be there just fine with a IC Paxton blower with a smaller pulley.

Hell, I made 380/378 on a Dynojet with a 3.6 SQ Vortech, 75mm TB and Plenum and ORX and Magnapacks..and I'm non intercooled as well...

Aviator pump should be more than enough.

Yeah those are rated to 270lph im pretty sure. You can get about 450 hp out of 255lph pumps so you could potentially get 500 maybe but dont think the injectors will make it that far.

SVT Focus pump + 39 lb Cobra injectors + 90mm MAF is easily good to 450 rwhp. And the Aviator pump is bigger than the Focus pump. Cobras go to 500 rwhp on stock injectors and MAF. I doubt you'll have a problem with fuel before you have a problem with something else....like a rod through the side of the block.

Thanks fellas! I really hope its going to be enough. I might still try and get a used BAP and keep it on hand, just in case. If I don't use it, I could always sell it.

if you get one, i would put it on any way to ensure the pump is getting constant voltage. think of it as insurance.

Thanks for the input fellas! I picked up a 20amp BAP over on SVTP for a sick deal for a little added insurance.
