I have a basic bolt on build running on 93 octane tune. I am interested in getting a Kenne Bell Boost a Pump for better fuel delivery. I am wondering if anyone has an accurate wiring chart for this application. I am purchasing KB Part KB89073. Thank you.

You don't need it with 93. If you record logs at all, you will see where your duty cycle is at. If the pump is tired from years of running hard on that setup, replace the pump.

You are correct I really dont need it but I am getting some symptoms, which appear to be loss of fuel (quick hesitation at high rpms, boost. My tuner says a BAP wont hurt so I figure more fuel would fix the slight hesitation I get.

Also I havent had a tune long and havent been running it hard (racing, etc.) at all. So it really shouldn't be worn out. low mileage as well.

A BAP won't necessarily hurt, but it may hide the symptoms of a failing stock pump. You don't need any more flow than a good stock pump provides on 93oct. I think the concern should be that a BAP is a band-aid and when this one gets ripped off - it'll hurt a lot.
I'm a BAP fan, you just don't need one.

Thank you. I appreciate your input and am glad I posted before I purchased one. You think a stock Hellcat Fuel Pump is sufficient. I am at 15psi and right at 860 whp? Thanks.

Thank you very much. So
I would use this as a secondary I pump and keep my stock Hellcat pump? Also, will be 1050 injectors be adequate to handle the 2 pumps? Thanks.

No, you pull out the pump housing on the driver side of the car. The pump is inside of a white plastic tray. You can pull the old one out, and put this one in. Plug and play. This video shows how to get it out.

Thank you for clarifying that. No worries about the additional heat it will generate?

No, it's the same exact pump that is currently in the car.

I do think a stock pump is enough. Someone like @Speedy! that has really pushed the limits of pump gas can help more.

I personally run the jms bap its totally plug and play and no boost refrence is needed so no cutting of any wires at all ,when I installed it on my stock hellcat pump my pump average was 90 psi I absolutely loved it ,if your fuel pressure is dropping to less then what is commanded then its not right if it commands 80 psi and your dropping to 70or less psi ,im sorry but its not right and your injectors get smaller and the car is under performing ,I now have it attached to my dual pumps gotta love knowing your fuel pressure is on point
