No idea. Gains from the actual pump will be zero, it's just fuel and I'll probably run AFRs right where I have been. I got it because I was leaning out up top when running a little higher boost on full e85 (not e70 like we have now) and I've also added the MAP rev3 IM and mil.spec 64mm TB, so i was worried about being even shorter on fuel. I figure this way I'm in much better shape.

Depends on the car. Remember I'm running this on a BAP right now. If I stumble upon some more cash in the next few months we shall see, but I'm pretty impressed with it thus far. I'm thinking on an X it would be perfect on a BBX Lite/FP Green/EF2 and maybe EF3 stock long-block setup on e85, depending on what supporting mods the car...skip the ported manifolds and tubular headers and I'd do dandy. Well come to think of it, Chris Carey has this pump on his car right now doing just that and it's fine (though he is on a rewire).

On a DSM or evo8/9, I dunno, I'm sure 500whp, maybe with a rewire.
