I was wondering what everyones thoughts on this system was, i am starting to look for a kit that will keep my fuel supply strong. I know that there are many kits out there but i saw this one and was impressed with it. The kit looks clean and so does installation, plus is raises fp by 6 psi. So if any one has comments on it, i would like to hear them.

I looked at the SFM. I thought it was pretty good on the surface. As I remember the problem I had was if it failed then the OEM could NOT pull fuel through it because of the kind of pump it is. If the OEM failed it could not get fuel through the OEM, not strong enough motor. As a second pusher pump maybe as it has all the bells and whistles (heaters etc) but there are other ways to treat the fuel (why I went with the RACOR 690). Then if you want a pump then you add a full fledged pump.



A couple of guys have pusher pumps that can carry the full load and have pressure bypasses that will bypass a failed pump.
