need more fuel!!!
 

So just got back from psi motorsports today. My numbers are 373/380 with 13 degrees of timing. My focus fuel pump is maxed out. My question is what pump should I buy that will be enough so I can make it to the 400rwhp range. I am going back this friday if I can get a better fuel pump to get a retune...This is also through an auto.

you could get a ford GT pump or you could hook a BAP up to it. those are decent numbers for a automatic.

Ya I have full exhaust tb/plenum powerpipe and 3.4 pulley. Do you know a place that sells single ford gt pumps?

ask randy here at the parts desk.

you should pull 400 i have 400 hp with 12* timing at the time i was on a stock mid pipe and stock manifolds. i have a automatic also.

damn what size pulley were you running? I have every bolt on besides under drive pulley's and I am at 373/380 with 13* timing..running a 3.4

im running 12#'s of boost with a vortech s trim. once you get it some more fuel than you will make some more power.

Ya I was also told my torque converter was slipping and unlocking around 3rd gear and was causeing me to lose power... My tuner told me I need to get a pi multidisk torque converter. With the ford gt pump and a re tune will I be able to make 400rwhp with the stock torque converter?

There are a few things you can do. I am in the same boat as you, though I maxed the pump 420RWHP because I've got a manual. You can upgrade the wire to the fuel pump. Supposedly you lose a 1 full volt running to the pump. I'm not sure how much more this will net.

You can get a Boost-a-pump.

Or what I am gonna do soon I hope, upgrade to a 2003-04 Cobra duel pumps and tank. I think this option would give you more than you need at this point. This also leaves room for further improvement

i made 400 with the stock converter. my tranny got real lazy with WOT shifts so i swapped it out with a performance automatic competition AODE.

you should look into the BC torque converters. once i get my car im ripping out my lentech piece and im gonna send it to those guys for a complete rebuild and re-stall. mine is only a single disk and it unlocks in 3rd gear.

Is there a site that sells these BC torque converters?

With full bolt ons and a 3.4 you definatly are over 400hp...

with the stock 3.85 pulley and a midpipe and catback i am at 364hp

Thats where i bought my new torque converter...great guy and company!!

Ya my auto is already lagging at the wot shifts. Whenever I get on it it bounces off the rev limiter. oh well I will just drop a 6spd if it ever goes out on me.

Hes the man when it comes to the Ford AODE/4r70w tranny and converters.

So I ordered a Ford Gt pump and got it installed for $100 bucks and got a retune that I wasn't charged for. Made 370/396...Basically the stock torque converter unlocks in 3rd gear and it stops making power around 5000rpm and just drops... I guess its time for a pi multidisk torque converter and 4.10 gears:pepper:
