The answer is not a simple one.. or maybe it is? If your tuned and maxed out for the amount of meth being injected with two pumps, your car is reliant on that flow of meth... if one pump fails, most likely you will experience an adverse reaction to the lack of supplied fuel...
If you are running a conservative tune, that doesn't require the knock suppression that two pumps are providing via meth, then one failure will not cause a problem... since your not maxed out...
Make sense?
It's the same principle as one pump... if you are tuned to rely on the meth for fuel and knock suppression and it the pump dies, you are relying on the ECU to pull spark fast enough to preserve the engine. The same could be said if you are running two pumps...
^ this.
If your car is mapped to run 28+ spark, and is hard mapped for that high of octane source al the time and suddenly you are feeding it only 92-pump gas it will knock HARD. How hard? I do not know. but i imagine *if* you did not see the puffs of brown smoke or feel/hear the knock and kept on it there would be very severe stress, and likely damage.
Running a hard core meth tune is a choice and a risk. Those that are understand the risks and drive it anyways.
Now, in theory running two full setups is 'interesting'.. with a line pressure switch of some sort in each meth line might be able to build a fail-over. IE if WOT but line-1 has no pressure == circuit two opens and tries to pump meth from its source.
Expensive setup. but cheaper than a long block.
edit: expanding thought..
pressure switch in line-1 supplies a signal to keep power from pump two under WOT conditions or trigger conditions?
