RE: Saleen S/C ?'s

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??

RE: Saleen S/C ?'s

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??

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.

RE: Saleen S/C ?'s

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
