I’ve done a bit of searching, but can’t seem to find the answer. So I apologise if this is a repeated question.

I have been contemplating upgrading the LPFP on my Z Nismo.

It is a weekend car, maybe the odd track day for fun. Upgrades are going to be straightforward, exhaust incl catted downpipes, CAI, heat exchanger and a tune.

Is there any value to upgrade the LPFP for this kind of usage?

On a side note, this complete kit from AMS looks the goods!

Yes. I’ve seen a bunch of tuned VR30s where the LPFP just can’t keep up with fuel demand on a tuned car. Especially when you’re pulling hard lateral or longitudinal Gs, the fuel bucket dries up and leads to fuel starvation. It’s a quick way to get fuel cuts and risk messing up the engine. Boosted 6 Auto Hydramat LPFP setup is also a solid fix for this it handles the issue really well.
