I didn't notice any difference in power or anything my truck after dual feeding the pump, and I was running 5k RPMs before and after the dual feed. I did it for the simple fact of getting good clean cool fuel to the front of the pump to help keep the plungers/barrels well lubed. I've heard of a few guys seizing a plunger and its usually at the front of the pump where it could be starved for fuel.

Definitely a good idea.
