I'm going to add Hp 292S Cams and I might run an 8 rib. I have also added longtubes since my last tune. My oold numbers are 431/419. Will my cobra tank/pumps and 42's be able to keep up?

i hope the cobra pumps are enough. that is what im going with and i should make 500 maybe a bit more with the stroker. however, i am going 60# injectors you will most likely need them too.

I was told the 42's can support more than the stock cobra pumps?

42's can get you to 500rwhp or more. but you'll want to make sure you are maxing out the duty cycle. the Cobra pumps may need upgraded. i suggest getting 2 Ford GT pumps. they are like $80 a piece and can support 1000rwhp combined.

the GT pumps supposedly drop right in. altho i heard someone had to do some minor rewiring of the connector. either way, not any harder than any other pump. the KB BAP is around $200 if i remember correctly.

yea im a bit worried about the cobra pumps. my tuner keeps telling me ill be fine with that but i dont know.

i even asked him if i would need the boost a pump and he said he thinks ill be fine without it.

he puts the cobra dual pump right in the existing gt basket and uses the existing tank. he said he hasnt had any problems with setting up this way on other cars. can i do the same with the ford GT pumps, how can you get 2 of them in there?

how do you set up 2?
