has anyone tried a kenne-bell boost-a-pump or a magnavolt or MSD fuel pump voltage booster on an s10?

I just ran across them and they seem like they'd alleviate the need for swapping to a walbro 255lph or adding an inline pump for mild forced induction setups (i.e. mine). basically they increase voltage supplied to the fuel pump in relation to rpm or boost and can significantly increase pump flow (according to the propaganda).

I realize that this is probably as much of a bandaid as an FMU is but swapping to a walbro 255 seems like a pain in the a$$ and external fuel pumps are loud. lingenfelter uses them on some wild street cars so they can't be that bad, can they????

they're about $100 or so depending on where you look

Heard the KenneBell part works good from the BuickTurbo guys.

I'll stand by it but it only helps if you have the injectors that can handle it as well.

Thats the problem with the s series is they dont have the injectors to fuel the boost, the problem isnt in the pressure
