The fuel pump voltage booster increases fuel flow by increasing the voltage to the fuel pump,
increasing the RPM of the fuel pump motor. A graph can be found on page 16 that shows the fuel
flow at a normal 13.5 volt charging system voltage and at 17 volts.
This fuel pump voltage booster kit offers variable fuel pump voltage settings of up to 17 volts. 17
volts is the maximum we recommend for the stock 2010-2013 Camaro fuel pump and the factory fuel
pump controller. 15 volts is the max voltage for a twin pump set up, any more and the pumps will
draw to much current. The production fuel pump controller monitors fuel pump voltage and current
and could set a diagnostic code at higher voltages and current loads.
Why are we voltage boosting the fuel pump controller and the fuel pump and not just the fuel
pump? The reason this is done is that the fuel pump voltage booster increases the voltage out but
in order to do so it has to increase the amount of current it draws on the low voltage, input side
of the voltage booster. For example, if you are outputting 17 volts and 15 amps to the pump that
is 255 watts output (17x15=255). In order to output 255 watts you must draw 19 amps at 13.5
volts (255/13.5 =19). This assumes 100% efficiency of the voltage booster. At a more realistic 85%
efficiency, you are now drawing 22 amps. If we had the voltage booster between the pump and the
fuel pump controller, the fuel pump controller would have to operate at these elevated current levels,
causing heat and other reliability related problems. By having the fuel pump controller also operating
at elevated voltage the fuel pump controller doesn’t see the higher current level on the low voltage
side of the fuel pump booster, reducing durability and diagnostic code problems.
Fuel flow requirements depend on the efficiency of your engine (brake specific fuel consumption,
BSFC). As a general guide, for supercharged applications over roughly 525 hp (at the crank), we
recommend voltage boosting the factory pump and for naturally aspirated applications over roughly
600 hp we recommend voltage boosting the factory pump. The voltage boosted factory pump can
support between 650 hp (supercharged or turbocharged applications) to 750 hp (naturally aspirated
applications). For higher power applications we recommend our Camaro dual fuel pump system.
Read the entire instruction manual before beginning installation. Some stock parts will
be used in reassembly. Estimated installation time is two hours.
When referencing the side of the vehicle in these instructions, the driver side of the vehicle is
considered the left side and the passenger side of the vehicle is considered the right side of the
vehicle.
Steps 36 and 37 are for a boost triggered (turbocharged or supercharged) application. Refer to steps
38 - 41 for naturally aspirated applications. A wiring diagram for the Boost-A-Pump (BAP) kit in a
2010-2011 Camaro can be found on page 14. If you would like the BAP to be RPM activated or RPM
and vacuum/boost activated refer to page 15.
Make sure that the BAP is connected to a good clean ground free of paint, rust or other material.
Damage to the unit can occur if a good ground is not used. If you are using a different ground than
what the instructions specify, be sure to properly clean and prep the area or use another existing
ground. The variable voltage boost adjustment knob wires should not be extended. Extending these
wires can negatively affect the operation of the BAP.
CARRY A SPARE 30 A FUSE WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES!!! If the fuse blows, the fuel pump
will no longer work and your vehicle will no longer run.
