    I'm wondering if he would be better off with twin Cobras? I couldn't pull the numbers with the P1 without them. Although I am not familar with the Stryker 340lph fuel pump, duals sound as though he'd have no problems going lean...


    With the D1, I have the Lethal Performance Fuel Hat with twin Walbro 255s, 8 -an lines to the rails, no return. The fuel hat is tri-pump designed, but I'm of no mind to increase capability by adding the third pump. My wallet is finished with the Mach I Project, so I'll leave it to the next owner to do as he/she chooses. :tiphat:

    Congrats on the good run, this makes me miss my Mustang. I sold my 99 Cobra when I bought my Maverick, not enough garage space.

    Doubtful, stock internals can almost take that much and his has all forged internals

    I had to replace the pump in my Cobra a few months back and that was expensive enough. I'm glad it wasn't the dual pumps.:yup:
