impressions after fuel pump imstall

so i installed my fuel pump and noticed a pretty intresting conclusion. you dont really notice much in the lower midrange rpms, but as soon as you hit about 6k bam, there is so much extra power up there that i never noticed.

anyone else feel this? or am i just being hyped about my new thing on my car?

defenetly hyped. There is no 0 difference in Power unless your old pump had issues which is very unlikely.

**** today I washed my car and used some special stuff to get all the speckles off the paint and I swear the car is faster cause all the dirt was causing alot of drag. Now I should trap 9's.

It's not bad at all. Just make sure you get the kit so the pump does not bob around in the fuel. Also dont do it with a full tank like I did

Rewire it with thicker gauge wire, and you wont have issues with it 'losing' power.

It doesn't lose power. It just can lose power if you add it without retuning for the additional fuel. The point of upgrading it is to provide you a larger safety margin when running higher boost (more fuel delivery) and to prevent against the stocker failing or starving the engine of fuel.
