Replace DSX pump or go port injection?

My DSX pump took a crap and it is $900 for a new one. I am running 861 WHP with a Maggie 2650, cam, intake, headers, and pulley.

What is everyone's thoughts on replacing the pump vs adding port injection instread?

The pump lasted only about 4K mi and 4 track days and is not under warranty.

Low side will still need to be addressed to feed the port injection.

Have you considered the "in tank" Katech solution?

You still need a lowside to provide fuel to the port. The more DI you stay the more power it'll make

Check out our dual in-tank fuel pump module.

It retains factory bucket functionality and will easily support your power level.

Thank you. I will look into the Katech as I also wanted to go e85 in the future anyway. I already have the Katech oil pump since I cammed it and it is a 2017 build. Tacked it with no issues. I appreciate everyone's help!

Is there an ETA on the controller?

This! And just a new pump should be much less than $900.00

I would use the KISS method and simply replace the Aux pump.
