hey i just installed another focus pump (twin pumps now) and put a sump in the tank.

well it fired up and idles fine, i took it for a spin and made a couple of pulls and it actually feels like it pulls better than it did before.

now the only things i notice are that the engine seems to run cooler, is this a sign of running b@lls @ss rich? it also smells a little richer as well (gf bitched until i started running the **** out of it).

it's probably because it's actually getting adequate fuel now then having to suck it through 1 pump... might need a re-tune now so it can adjust to the increase in fuel flow... btw what kinda numbers are you putting down?

never had it on the dyno but my best guess is above 380 hp and probably somewhere around 435 torque. i think my next mod is gonna be a wideband.

it was tuned on the street by matt at performance evolution, which in my opinion is better as the turbo spools and boosts in preportion to load.
