I'm very excited to see what this product does and allows.

The point being, let's wait till the product comes out and see what LME says can be accomplished with only that 1 change (and tuning of course).  If it takes you to the practical limit of the drivetrain on pump gas, without methanol injection/big turbos etc., then that provides another road to follow.  IIRC, it is not that difficult to replace the HPFP.  Maybe not as easy (!) as spark plugs, but definitely way easier than injectors LOL.

The HPFP is two bolts and a quick disconnect fuel line. Really easy, I did a write up and how to on replacing it.. not sure if it made over here on EBPF but it is on shoforum.com.. I will be more than happy to help anyone who needs it. It is pretty simple though..

I calls Livernois today to ask about the cost to install an alky kit but also asked about this pump. Sounds like it's done but waiting on some other stuff, should be ready shortly!!! Want to see what options I have

Honestly on this platform doing mild upgrades to get you into the 12's is the smartest case scenario, transmissions have failed on most of the big HP cars out there and there's no fix once they do break other than another stock transmission. My suggestion to you all is to get to around 450WHP and stop unless you like lighting money on fire and having a huge headache from smashing your face into the wall repeatedly.

Interesting... I was thinking that running E85 would be something worthwhile, not necessarily for gobs more power but rather the higher octane qualities would help reduce any tendencies for knock.

Just a tune will get you into the 12s, no other upgrades are really necessary. Looking at others' timeslips with the catless DP's, CAI, and catback exhaust, I see the 1/4 ET delta is on the order of 0.2-0.3 seconds with all of the above mods.

Wonder why they can't make a pump upgrade kit like other companies do for VW for example. Maybe our pump is physically maxed out hence they made a whole new one, would be interesting to look into.

I think they also didn't want the new pump to break the cam.  Cam failures have happened before.
