Question Fuel pump question.

Does anybody out there know where to get a good aftermarket fuel pump for these beasts, the V10 that is? Or is it just best to stick with OEM?

I'm not sure which route to go. How does the external mount pump hook up and what do you do with the in-tank pump? I'm thinking I'd probably prefer to just get a replacement in-tank pump that is more powerful and efficient than the OEM one, if one even exists.

Almost forgot, where can I see this pump that you described in your post?

Search for racing applications from the 5.0L and 5.4L mustang web sites... they have a LOT of experiance fitting much larger and higher flow injectors... going with a in tank fuel pump is easiest way due to bolt in process... you are looking for the part number for a higher flow rate pump at factory or higher pressures. They exist and are not much more expensive then the stock unit. Not at my home computer so don't have any links... I find and read most web pages from the racing folks with Google. HTH

Yes!! Maybe I'm not searching in the right places. I can't seem to find a high flow, in tank pump anywhere. The problem I seem to be having is that there doesn't appear to be enough fuel volume. I have the proper pressure but not the volume. This supercharger is getting to be a big pain the a$$ and expensive. Can you point me in the right direction?

I did simple search for superchargers and found the volunt, whipple, and others...looked at all the instalation PDFs and found the instructions for adding a pump in-line near the filter and also instructions for removing the factory stock LPM pump and putting a 120, 150 or 255 LPM pump in place inside the tank reusing all the fuel level and pickup parts.

No can linky from this government computer

Fred, Do you recall which supercharger site had the instructions for replacing the stock pump with a higher flow one. I plan on adding a Walbro 255 lph pump, provided I find the one that will work. I saw the instructions from Paxton that mentions the in-line pump next to the filter. I have a Kenne Bell so I know it's not that one. Whipple?

Fuel volume at higher rpm's seems to be the problem. I spoke with the techs at Kenne Bell and explained to them what was going on and they suggested that I just replace it with another OEM pump. With the boost-a-pump that's installed, supplying 16.8 volts to the fuel pump while under boost, I was told that the pump will supply sufficient volume and psi. I figure they should know since they design and test the darn things, so I just replaced it with an OEM one.

It seems to have helped a little. I'll know more once I get it back on the dyno for some fine tuning of the program. Any idea how accurate electric fuel gauges are? The reason I ask is because the tech I spoke with at KB suggested that I check the pressure at the fuel rail just to make sure that my in-cab gauge is giving me accurate readings. I guess what they're getting at is that the electrical gauge is not as accurate as a mechanical gauge. Any ideas? One of the problems I'm having is that I'm not getting the fuel psi at idle that they (KB) say I should be getting. At idle my gauge is steady at 28 psi. According to KB, at idle I should be seeing 32-35 psi. Also, at 0 psi boost I should be seeing 40 psi and under full boost I should be seeing 1 psi per lb of boost, which in my case should be 47 psi. When I am at WOT the most I am seeing is 42-43 psi. Not sure what the problem is, if I even have a problem. I replaced the fuel pressure regulator a few months back and I change the fuel filter every time I change oil (cheap insurance). At this point I don't know what else to check with the exception of the pressure at the fuel rail. My frustration is growing.
