Gosh, I don't know where, but there was some discussion about our fuel pump and its ability to keep-up with our higher output aspirations...
After chatting with Peter at M7 earlier in the day, he shared that are fuel pump will be just fine. A bench test revealed that our stocker can easily handle 300 hp, and probably up to 400 (he jotted-down the flow numbers somewhere, in case one wants to inquire). While it wouldn't be hard to increase the flow with a modification or a new pump, going-up too much (maybe over 10%) could rupture the fuel lines, and we wouldn't want that. Thankfully this is not something we need to deal with, nor is there a need to upgrade fuel lines to something more substantial.
Yes, Peter is experimenting, and exploring creative ways to make the MINI faster .
