Re: WHAT THE F*CK
you increase fuel pressure with an adjustable regulator.....and compensate for it with the increased flow rom the pump running faster.
more pressure=less IDC. something like that....
the BAP increases the flow of the pump only under higher load conditions.....when high FP is needed. at idle, the vac is lowering the fuel pressure, therefore no effect is there on the idle mixture.
still, not the BEST way of doing it, but it works well.
best thing to do is to have larger lines, rail, injectors, and pump to work as a system...but KB does a damn good job designing a bolt on system that works together.
*edit* all an FMU does is increase the fuel pressure also.....so you are doing everything a FMU does, and also giving more fuel flow at the same time.

Fc735 gets it, IMHO the BAP is not the best way to do it, some have even called it a band-aid, but it is hard to argue with all the people that have had sucess with it.
*damn you ryan, beat me to it.

Re: WHAT THE F*CK
yeah..i was gettin ready to say that!
PS: the 99+ fords control the fuel pressure by regulating the duty cycle of the pump motor itself...in essence, there is no said regulator....merely turn pump on and off as needed to maintain fuel pressure.
hmm...glad i know a little here on new stuff eh?! ford training is fun

Re: WHAT THE F*CK
same reason i am selling the wagon....
i was looking at it...didnt say i was gonna get it for her car, but it would be nice.
most anyone will agree that Vortech (centrifugal S/C) is not as good as a Roots style (KB) blower.....longetivity, torque, and throttle response are better, IMO, on a Roots style then a centrifugal.
i got a four banger mustang too......nice little automatic car i got for about a grand.....and a turbo manifold that a buddy gave me...so i may be getting bored sometime soon
