well as I said I would update this.
Fuel pump died, not sure how or why but one pump is dead. The only thing I can think of is the BAP killed one but that is quite perplexing since GT500's run 20v BAP with no issues yes in less than a week I killed one with a 18.6v BAP....
Not sure what to do next. Lick my wounds and sell it to go Fore or replacement of the pumps...

I'm not clear on this . You are running 18.6 volts all the time or is it like my JMS plug and play that hooks to the gas pedal and only goes to 18v when I hit half throttle ? Seems like running at 18.6 all the time would not be a good thing for the pump or pumps ?

People run these pumps at 20v all the time since they're an OEM pump
Just luck of the draw although I'm the third person that has lost a pump to this issue with this setup

Do you think it has anything to do with running E85 or are you seeing guys running 93 pump gas killing pumps also ? I have to say all this talk of killing pumps using a BAP does worry me a bit ..
My tuner looked at my data logs from the track and this is what he told me
Tune looked good. Shift points need to be raised a bit but we can do that next time I see you

But the car seems to be running short on fuel past 7k

It starts to add fuel on the trims meaning is close on fuel system
My question is why I'm running out of fuel at 640 HP with a BAP and ID1000 injectors and others make more HP than me are not running out of fuel ? Just seems strange to me ..:shrug:

There's someone on this board recently with a Fore system that had a pump puke out quick as well I'm not sure what the cause is but I don't think the BAP is to blame.

- it has an engine!
This is why i dont use baps. If you need to run more then a 1-2 volt increase your better off getting a larger pump. There are still plenty of gt500 owners that kill their pumps. Im an ex 14 owner, it happens to them. Not sure where you heard its not. A bap is not a long term reliable solution for somone racing often. For the person that doesnt beat on their car much it will live a longer time since its not seeing the increased voltage often. There will be the occasional persons pump that lives awhile with beating on the car often but its not the norm. Also the term beating on the car often seems to be a subjective thing. Some will claim they beat it often, but actually only floor it once or twice a week for one gear. How thats often or really beating on it is beyond me. :lol: It costs money to do things right. Its worth peoples time and money to not have to redo things.
