Are you doing the V3 install?
I would try to tackle the install myself if I had a garage or somewhere(and the tools) to do it, doesn't look that hard. Especially with the drop in fuel hat I bought. So I'm probably gonna have my buddy's step dad do it for me(senior master tech for ford, and has a very nice lightning) he's gonna charge me but not what most other shops would. it all depends on install time. But at the same time as the kit is going in I'm upgrading to the 07+ cooling setup too.

What fuel hat did you go with? A dual GT500 setup?

I went with the S&H Performance Stage 1 setup. From the same guys who make that Turbo kit you pointed out. Basically a modified GT fuel hat with a 340lph fuel pump along with upgraded wiring.

http://www.s197forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=77625

says will support up to 500-550 depending on injector size. When it comes time to upgrade the pump after that I'll probably end up going with their stage 2 if I like this setup, basically a GT fuel hat with dual 340lph pumps and a second FPDM and upgraded wiring kit. and that setup is only $525

Let me know how it works out. I know there was a guy over on a different forum that used a 340lph pump on a stock hat (with wiring upgrade) and the thing was MAXED at 480rwhp.

I think it has something to do with the single FPDM trying to drive such a larger than stock pump.

I haven't seen any results with Jeremy's kit yet, so give us all the details when it comes time. Who's doing the tune? I would hope Pete?

I haven't decided what I want to do for a fuel setup yet... ugh

Pete is definitely doing the tune. I'll let you know how that setup works. I'm only aiming for 380-400rwhp so I think I'll be within a safe limit for the 340lph pump.

Should start to see some packages today.

I think the pump will be fine for that amount of HP, I'm just curious what the duty cycle is going to look like.

Good call with Pete, he likes the V3 kits if I remember.

Not necessarily. My pinion angle was very off so i needed an adjustable as well. Only running the saleen springs too.

Good to know. I should check mine once I lower it.

If you're lowered you'll def want an adjustable upper (a must with a 1 piece DS too), LCA relocation brackets to bring the LCA's back level, and sometimes a panhard bar to re-center the rear.

Parts started arriving today, nothing too exciting. Got most of the 07 coolant setup, just waiting on upper radiator hose and the t-stat. and the discharge assembly showed up, still waiting on everything else though.
