Default how to raise voltage

i am looking into the new dw300 fuel pump and ive read that it flows significantly more at higher voltage. What are some ways to raise the voltage to say 16 volts at the pump?

Isn't 16v a bit high? Are you boosting? I've only upgraded the fuel pump wiring so my pump runs around 14.4v. Never needed/tried anything higher. I know MSD makes a fuel pump voltage booster if that applies to you.

Kenne bell boost a pump works great. I have used them on many different cars/pumps and its OEM reliable. I have a 20 volt dual competition one for sale that is basically brand new. PM me if you are interested.

Start with thicker gauge wiring and a quality relay, we offer a kit to help simplify the process.

But like the others said, the boost-a-pump is the way to go as it allows you actually provide more voltage to the pump.
