imho, if you go stage IV with the GT500 fuel setup, you'll
be laying a foundation for any unseen future fuel
needs.

i read in a recent thread, that the GT500 pumps, will
support upto around 630rwhp.

I was thinking about the stage 4 also, but without the smaller pulley. I want durability over everything else, is the GT500 fuel system really that much better than a BAP??

Not to dispute Hammeron but I think I read in this months 5.0 mustangs that it will support 700rwhp with the right injectors.

As far as going with brenspeed, I think they are the best company in the mustang aftermarket business. I would not hesitate to buy parts from them (and I do buy parts from them) or have them install something.

If I lived within 8 hrs driving distance from them I would have bought the Stage 3 and had them install it. But considering it is a 20hr drive from me each way I went Whipple.

I think with your mods and a 93 octance tune Brent should be able to get you to 450rwhp + or - 5.

And my personal opinion on BAP's is that I dont like them. Yes they work and appear to work well but it stems from my knowledge of electric motors. I am an engineer by trade and if you double the voltage to an electric motor it will go twice as fast and last half as long. With a BAP I would always worry about losing the pump prematurely.

To me the GT-500 fuel pumps are a great addition and I would install them with a Stage 3 kit, just for my peace of mind.

Congrats and good luck.

Even with the long tube headers/delete plates it will take a Stage III to get to that level??? I
Long tubes are only gonna give you 10-15 HP
The delete plates would go away when you add a twin-screw so those will not gain you anything

what do you mean they "go away", I don't have the original butterflys anymore, would I have to re-pruchase them??

No, the Saleen intake runners bolt directly to the head..

Hope you weren't planning to go to Brenspeed Friday, I've got their shop tied up that day..

With the 4.10's and Nitto's you need to heat them up pretty good. You are adding a whole lot more H/P but they will hook.

I would honestly put the 3:55s back in if you are going stage 3 or 4...you will be able to make much better use of your power IMO...plus you could sell the 4:10s and actually save a little money. With what your goals are, I would go stage 4 with a 3.2" pulley. Keep us posted
