Obviously your set up is working well for you

I see what you mean that you can still maintain control if you wire the BAP before the relays, but still I prefer to have 2 individual circuits, but as I said, yours is obviously working well for you.

It costs 200$ more and it doesn't give more function then the single circuit one. So why do you prefer your setup?

Ps I am not using the BAP, I have made this setup for some else.

Because if I blow one fuse, or have a problem with the BAP on one side, I would still have the 2nd running. Seems like 1/2 the risk.

Sounds like overkill, the bap itself is simple in design and very sturdy. If safety is truly in your mind, you should focus on the pumps, and not add additional items that could fail, that just doesn't make sense.

I like the idea of the stock pump setup when I am running "only" 370 Rwhp and then at just the flick of a switch, having the 2nd option of much higher flow when I am running 525+ Rwhp on the juice.

I like this option especially because I am seeing a number of posts on the board right now where people are having fuel delivery issues with larger pumps.

This gives me that exact option.

So I now have option :1 which is "fast" and option #2 which is "fastest"

Cheers

When safety isn't an issue, then it doesn't matter with what you do now. Otherwise pick the pump for your needs, and the right FPR and you will not have any issues.
