Re: High HP Fuel Systems - Q&A (4th Gen)
The stock setup is an in tank pump only. An inline booster pump is often added to support power adders like dry nitrous and superchargers, that require elevated fuel pressures. The in tank pump looses flow capacity rapidly as discharge pressure increases. In a setup like this with the fuel pumps in series, both pumps have to operate at all times. I ran an inline booster for an NOS 5176 dry nitrous kit, and it didn't cause any problems with the fuel system - the stock fuel pressure regulator was able to control the fuel pressure, both with and without nitrous being used.
Not sure what "catching hell" means in tech terms, so that's about the best I can offer.
