SVT Focus Fuel Pump
I just picked up an SVT focus fuel pump today and I'm planning on dropping it in on Saturday. Anyone ever install one before? Should I expect to run into any problems or have to make any mods to anything (wiring, etc.)? Any feedback would be appreciated.

i am when i am not spraying my car. why are you worried about driveabilty? its the same as stock our pumps are vaiable voltage pump they kick up the power as it needs more fuel. so the pressure when at idle and what not is the same. Only when it really needs more fuel does it go to full power and thats when the focus pump puts out a ton more fuel then the stocker. its not a performance upgrade if you think you will gain power, you will not.

I have a 97 gt and my pump is really loud it always has been, but onew thing i noticed was last night at a light when i use my flashers the pump makes different tones like it doesnt get as much power when other electrical stuff is being used..is this a problem?

Thanks for all the info. I did read that you can drill out the basket if you want to...but it isn't necessary. I'm only running a 100 shot and I don't plan on going any higher...so I probably won't drill it out.

would the pump make your car run better on an empty tank? Since it is a stronger pump
I realized that about half way between empty and the first quarter my car seems to be running a bit more sluggish.

Sage advice. Mooey important. Most blower kits have a note to that effect in the manual/instructions.

This is because you get sediments at the bottom of your tank, when your low on gas the sediments are at a higher solute concentration, thus your sucking crud into your motor, resulting in that "sluggish" feeling your talking about. I never let my Pony get below a 1/4 just to avoid that problem

I run mine from full to nearly totally empty every tank. I change my filter every 12000 miles. Usually that's enough to keep from ever having sediment issues. My car is maintained WAY more often than the typical stang though so puck what works for you.
