Default Re: Lets Talk IAT's...

It is not additional pressure that you need it is volume. As the car approaches red line the volume of fuel from the factory pump drops off to around 45- 50 gal/hr this allows the rail to start to empty. The SL55 pump works under the same pressure as ours but can supply 95 gal/hr @ idle and 70-75 gal/hr at redline this way the rails don't start to empty. The SL-55 cars run 8 cylinders and dyno over 600 at the wheels with the stock pump. SLK32 Germany uses this pump and runs stacked pulleys with no lean conditions.
