I've got a replacement Vortech pump on order from Summit.  Supposed to ship on the 18th.

Well, the pump got here before Summit said it would ship, and it is installed before Summit said it would ship!

Fuel Pressure guage is no longer showing the fuel pressure dropping at WOT.  It's now showing it at 58-59 psi, before was only seeing about 56 before it starting dropping.  The indications from the narrowband sensors via HPTuners scanner shows them staying above 900 mV all the way to WOT shift point, and the 42 pound injector max duty cycle of 83% on a pretty hot day.  Plenty of fueling, for now.  Only saw a max of about 3 pounds of boost.

I also changed the fuel filter while I was doing the pump - that may have contributed to my problem, but I don't think the other pump was operating.

I know it's a pain but your going to have to put that stock crank pully back on to get some serious boost.  At least you already have the belt to fit it (my old one)

I'm going to try to resist doing that until after I get my rebuilt rebuilt transmission back in it.

Can you even tell there's boost at 3 psi?

I've been tweaking on my tune for the past couple of weeks and have it running pretty well now.

Yeah, I believe I can tell.  Will be taking the G-tech out sometime this week and see what it says, although I don't think I have any runs in the past done in such hot ambient conditions as we are supposed to be seeing for a while.

The aux pump, together with the e-fans, is really showing it is there on my voltmeter.  I'm going to see if I'm running an underdrive pulley on the alternator and if so put the stock one back on.
