Casper's V-Volt Booster

[Allmachtige]

Is it a bad idea to use one on my car?

As in damaging factory electronics.

What does it do? Is it literally a 5 volt booster? What would you need that for?

It give the electrical system a boost under WOT. I ran one for a long time, it helps give more power to the ignition and fuel pump when you need it. It won't cause any harm to the car.

That's what I thought. Many people tell me its going to fry something.

Makes sense, then you can bump bump your system at full bass down the track.

I think thats a .5 volt boost.

I'm looking for experienced input.

Its to give your system more volts at WOT like ron said. So your fuel pump and such are not starving for juice. I never ran one, but I have a cheap alternator rewire that Ive used and a ZZP volt booster that I am almost sure has caused more damage then helped.

I ran the beta version of it before it was released, and it was a much higher voltage than the production unit. It would make my DIC flash (happens at voltages higher than 15.5vdc), and it looked like I flipped the brights on. I asked Justin at Caspers to tone it down for the mainstream. It was kind of funny, you couln't be stealthy at night racing at all. I can just imagine the cops face if one ever caught me racing at night. It did help a ton with my IPW's, it was before the FP rewire I tested from them (That's still on the car), and the HV fuel pump.

FYI I have the fuel pump "hotwire" kit from them installed as well.

Ron it's interesting that you asked casper's to tone down the kit because mine bumps the voltage up to 16.0 and causes my DIC to flash at me.
