HUh? on low speed the pump get approx 10 volts, at high speed it goes up to system voltage.
That is what mine does....
That reduction in pressure may just be the fpr opening? But isnt 53 a little low?

bhr coils couldn't power through how flooded my car was...I assume because of the fuel pump failing

either way after initial failure the 53 psi wasn't our concern

I just want to note how dramatic sway bar settings can change the car

I have a high speed 100deg banked corner on the way to work I use to gauge suspension performance.

my current custom coilover setup with teh sway on soft yeilded and entry speed of 68mph.....on medium it was 48mph......I couldnt beleive how much of a difference that 3/4" adjustment made

I now enter that corner 4mph fast than ever

I would say about 1600 or so... just make sure you do at least 1-2 oil changes during that time.

It was for a contest on Facebook, guess his mileage. I guessed in at 220k something only to find out I was way off. Guess he's at 149k and some change.
