Paul,

Justin over at VMP figured out a way to re-wire the stock fuel pump for a 10% drop in duty cycle:
http://www.vmptuning.com/forum/showthread.php?t=630

This was with a 06 Mustang GT w/ an intercooled Whipple running @ 7.5psi (3.825" pulley).

Before the wiring upgrade FPDC (Fuel Pump Duty Cycle) was at 95% at 6500rpm. After the wiring upgrade it dropped to 85%, the fuel pump required almost one volt less at peak fuel flow (about 4.6lb/min). This car was making 420rwhp with a 11.5:1 A/F. I then tried a smaller 8.5psi pulley, still had plenty of fuel (about 91% DC). With the 3.325 (10.5psi) whipple pulley the stock pump is finally on the edge.
Hope this helps,
Mike
yes,that really does hlep,lots of great info there.cool,cause justin will be doing my tune when i get er up and running too!

You can use just (1) gt supercar pump and a wire upgrade cost me 139.00 for everything !! Im putting down 487 at the rear with a novi2200 set up ...been running this for over a year now ! (I have 39 lb injectors also)

dont use two of them ..nothing but problems ! you also can use a k/b boost a pump on top of that to !

I am pushing 500RWHP with a BAP and stock pump.
no problems, and that is what a wideband and fuel gauge are for anyways.
I am not impressed with what I read on the dual GT500 pump setup.
If I upgrade I would go GT supercar pumps.
