I hear ya. I contacted a ford parts dealer and got a quote for $316 for the pumps. I think I'll just do the pumps for now. Maybe upgrade to two focus pumps since I already have one.

I'm going to be running 550-600 RWHP and the Mach 1 setup isn't going to work even with the SVT focus pump I have now.

Adding the second focus pump is proabably the wisest choice. You will have plenty of fuel for your HP with those :thumbs:

Didn't see what size injectors ya are running, but if ya plan on boosting it up to 550 to 600 I may even go as far as new fuel rails and a boost a pump to help keep the fuel cool, Insurance for what ya doing, lol!
Welcome to the big time! :beer:

Also, how is that 65mm Throttle body treating ya, I ordered one before I here ya might have some problems with them (sticking open/sticking closed) I know with a minor mod you can fix the issue!! I orderd mine about 2 months ago, still waiting to recieve it from JEGs, back order is a bitch, plus I am still waiting on my Eliminator Fuel Pump to get here, it is also on back order! :beer:

My 66MM throttle body worked great I port matched it to the intake and I could tell a difference, I gained around .2 in the 1/8th went from a 7.72 to a 7.54 with just changing to the 65MM.

That sounds pretty respectable, what did it do in the 1/4 mile? As soon as my 65mm gets in I a plan on doing the same, port matching and then porting and polishing the manifolds and heads. I figure it would be good insurance for the new build planned, and also doing some more of what FORD should of done for us Mach 1 owners, lol! :beer:
