lift pump Q's

[Red]

So like most here, I want to get more power out of my truck. I am figuring out exactly what to order for when I do get back, but I have a few questions about lift pumps. First off, I was looking at the FASS models, and I'm quite sure I want to get the 95 gph model for what I want to do with it. That being some decent EFI live tuning and a DSP switch, along with a suncoast trans kit. It should be plenty, right? The other thing, how do I determine my need for the FASS filter kit with it? Is it a less restrictive in-line replacement for my factory fuel filter? Or is it a filter built in to help save the FASS system from crap in my lines? There is a few hundred $$$ difference so I want to be sure of what I need. Thanks in advance.

Get the 150 kit.. Idk much about the 95 kit but I do know once you go as far with your truck as u want then you always wana go farther with it.. The filters on the on a water and air separator.. IMO they are a great purchase and amust have for big power. I have the air dog 150. The only reason I didn't get the fass was bc of size... Maybe some other guys on here will chime in..

Maybe we are talking about different filters? From what I understand, the FASS systems purpose is to filter air/water, it also functions as a lift pump in its flow rate though. I see on the site there are 2 different versions of the 95(unfortunately the graphic is the same for both) and one is the kit+filters and is like, $200 or so more. I was thinking the kit comes with the air/water filter, but this was something in addition to that. I could be wrong , wouldn't be the first time.

yes fass and air dog both come with air/water seperators.. i was saying get the 150gph model.. that is prolly the difference in what you are seeing. there is prolly a 200$ diff between the 95gph and the 150gph.

Yep, think I answered the filter question after looking at a few more websites. Merchant Automotive has real pics of the product. Would I be breaking 400hp with a good tune, assuming the trans is built to take it? If so, I really should go with the 150......

 

[ZeroGravity58]

if the trans was built you can make 500HP on tuning. Go with the 150....

So starting to veer off topic, what will the Suncoast kit with the valvebody, clutches, and TQ take, realistically? Over 400? I guess the more I figure out, the more I think that I need to take everything a step further to get where I want overall.

yes way over 400..more like 4500

My stage 4 I think is good for 800hp.. But I really don't remember.. The only reason I recommend the air dog is bc of size an where they place it on the frame

Suncoast site says the stage III is rated @500hp, and that's what I was looking at. Conservative? Overestimate? Now I'm thinking I need to get the stage IV, just in case.......

 

[Red]

Screw it. FASS 150 and a stage IV. Will leave me room to grow I guess.

I was like you but after talking to my builder and some others the extra $500 is worth it for the Stage IV. Then I don't have to worry about it. Same with the lift pump.
For what it's worth, I heard the AD II is going to get a price increase soon.
