have you guys heard of this product? it's a boost a pump. it's suppose to boost your fuel pump and it's adjustable. here is the site. boost a pump

 

They use some tricky language to tell you that they use that little box to put more voltage to the pump, which WILL shorten the life of the machine.

This says that the voltage to the pump remains constant with a supply to the Kenne Bell box of 10 to 12.5 volts.

Here is a crude diagram:

___________12.5 V______???? V_________
Elec System ----->K.B. Box----->Fuel Pump

I don't care what they say, increasing the voltage to something like 17.5 volts will shorten the pump life.

Plus, when I run voltage through a motor at a higher rate than it was designed for, it usually gets warmer. I would like to know how they accomplish this no heating task.

They must have some fuel pumps that convert 100% of the electrical energy into mechanical energy. I would like to get my hands on one of those. Show all of those physiscist that their thermodynamics theories are wrong. J/K

I don't doubt that it is a reliable product, but I would just as soon get a larger pump that drops in, get a piggy back computer and tune all across the RPM range. Not just give 20% more voltage at WOT.

dude, unless that **** is $20, get a walbro pump. Its only $100 and isn't going to cause hell with your pump.

 

MSD sells a similar product. It allows you to overdrive (with upped voltage) your fuel pump and is adjustable. It looks nearly identical to the Keene Bell unit. In fact, I think it is a MSD unit with a different lable on it.
