HPFP Upgrade Question
Whats up guys? Been running MHD Stage2+ E20 map for a bit now and wanted to finally go with a custom map. I was told to upgrade my hpfp but with a price tag over $1100+ to upgrade, I'm wondering if its even worth it considering that I'm on a stock turbo and have no plans to go bigger. I have the basic bolt on mods. Is there a cheaper still efficient option out there?

Someone else once told me you can just get meth on stock turbo and make ~400whp, so with Helix same might be possible. But how long that turbo last is another question. It just spending 1100 on Helix with results that might not be satisfying to me on stock snail might be a gamble since after 5k rpm it dies down. |

David knows what he's talking about. I would trust him and I agree you should be 400 whp+ with a custom tune from him if you have FBO w/stock turbos. He told me he could out-tune mhd stage 2+ by over 40 hp on stock turbos. Is it worth it? That's a relative question depending on how much money you have and how bad you want it.

I would rather spend little bit more and get PS1 (800 + install cost) to have that tuned with 2 or 3 gallons of e85 in there with 93 octane to enjoy the upper rpm.

I bet David could advise you how much more HP you should expect if you get the HPFP. Then you can do your dollar per HP+headache analysis :-D
