How much hp can stock fuel pump take?

Avaric3 · October 6th, 2007, 12:58 PM

i saw another thread about fuel pumps and was wondering how much hp can the stock one handle? im buying a stage 2 power pack tomorrow from mmvi and i plan on having around 270-280hp. will the stock fuel pump at least handle that? and im assuming ill need bigger fuel injectors too. im going for 34lb injectors cuz i wanna bump the power up more in the future. if i have to change the fuel pump, is the 310lph from vmp the way to go?

Do you plan on getting some other mods? Because a s2 power pack wont get you 270-280....

If your going to get injectors might as well get 39# or 42# injectors....

mmvi · October 6th, 2007, 02:23 PM

270 - 280 wont happen with a power pack alone. even ssms admits that you need other modifications for that. I'd go with a cold air intake, throttle body, larger injectors, pump to go with the injectors, better coilpack, plugs and wires for better spark, a tune (of course), pulleys, gears, tlok, and there's so much more that I don't know or can't think of that will go into the category of upgrades...

it took me a while to realize that I won't get that out of my powerpack... so I started looking for other options like pistons, stroker kits and whatnot... in the end, I am going FI

No reason to upgrade the stock coil pack.

mmvi · October 6th, 2007, 02:44 PM

well, mine crapped out and the wires are shitty, so, I just threw that in

haha seriously, I bought so many sets of plus wires because they won't hold to the packs... junk.

dapack69 · October 6th, 2007, 02:47 PM

What kind of wires did you buy? I've only been thru three sets in 8 years?

mmvi · October 6th, 2007, 02:50 PM

they were the standard wires from Belden... bought them at napa... I've been everywhere else and that is the only kind of wire they sell for my car. Also, I bought the platinum+ plugs, and because of the wires, the car misfired A LOT... the little plastic connectors won't stay on the pack.

dapack69 · October 6th, 2007, 02:55 PM

first, you really need to get rid of those damn bosch plugs, worst thing that you could put into a mustang. Second you need to get some quality wires, go to Summit racing and order some real ones.

mmvi · October 6th, 2007, 02:55 PM

hahaha that's what I thought... so, basically 30 bucks for junk...

02ponypackage · October 6th, 2007, 02:58 PM

the VMP pump is a 1+......and for the price its not bad...I will be picking that up at VMP in a few weeks

mmvi · October 6th, 2007, 03:01 PM

any reccomendations for wires at summit?

dapack69 · October 6th, 2007, 03:03 PM

I run the taylor myself. These are the best wires that I've owned so far.

dapack69 · October 6th, 2007, 03:17 PM

They are, now they have other colors as well.

i know youre not refferring to me but just wanted to say, i have a screamin demon coil pack w/ livewires and autolite copper plugs

ok, so ill do 42lb injectors than and the 310lph returnless fuel pump from vmp. right now the 42lb injectors will be huge for my needs so will it effect my fuel useage or anything else before i get a turbo on next year?

dapack69 · October 6th, 2007, 03:30 PM

I have friends of mine buy them. The coil pack has died on a couple of them. The wires look real good from what I can tell, but $100 on wires is a lot.

mmvi · October 6th, 2007, 03:32 PM

thats the coilpack I have haha how are the longtubes? and I hope you break the 270hp youre going for...

Avaric3 · October 6th, 2007, 03:34 PM

the longtubes are good, the exhaust sounds pretty good overall too. i also have my egr removed and my sensors and egr cel shut off from the tuner
