So here is a pic of some of what I got, I am still waiting for the other box to arrive. This is my charger, power cooler, injectors, and fuel pump. I have all the accessories for this already but I don't have my battery relocation kit yet, or my Anderson Powerpipe, guages, and few other misc. pieces. I hope it all gets here soon though, I already took next week off for vacation so I can install this and have my dyno tune performed. However I cant have it dyno tuned until I get my battery relocation box and powerpipe at least

I am purchasing the Diablosport Predator programmer on the advise of my tuner, in your opinion what will I think of this programmer? Is it a good product, is it well rounded and versatile? What are some of its features that you think I will like about it?

As long as your tuner knows what he is doing, tuning with a Diablosport will work just fine. Its going to be a custom dyno tune, right? If not, and its a mail-order blower tune, strap that thing to a dyno ASAP to check the A/F ratio... if something is bad, have them dial it in.

Yes, it will be a custom tune performed on the dyno, I already asked several times to make sure. I will also be there while they are tuning, and will watch the A/F ratio and see where it is. I dont know alot about forced induction but where do I want to see the A/F? Wouldnt somewhere around 11.5 be right? This is a 10PSI kit (stated 9-11) and I hear that I will get another 2-2.5PSI from the powerpipe so I will be at +-12PSI. What kinds of things do I need to look for with this setup? Roughly where should my timing end up? Where should the A/F ratio be? Please fill me in on anything I will need to know.

COOL. but get rid of that fuel pump. If i remember right the vortech kit comes with a walbro pump that is designed for a return style system and can keep up with the returnless system you have. It will give out quick and some people have had them give out under boost wich caused engine failure. get a svt focus pump and call it a day.

I just grabbed the part number off of the fuel pump and did a lil google search with it and appearantly it is a SVT Focus pump. Tell me what you think, the part number on it is 3S4U-9350-AA

thats not the part number i get for the focus pump. and if vortech is supplying a connector with the pump its more then likely not a focus pump because the focus pump uses the same connector as our cars. I could be wrong though but i do specifically remember the vortech kits coming with a walbro pump. but they could have changed it.
