The problem is this, if Ford has a book on this type of situation, they will follow it right back to the owner's use of a tuner.
If SCT or any other tuner has taken this pump feed pressure variable into consideration, and has taken steps to make sure the pump line pressure remains totally consistant within stock parameters, we can all rest easy. If this particular situation has not been considered and addressed, there is a potential catastrophic problem just waiting to happen.
And I guess I don't have to tell you who will be holding the bag....
I think I agree with everything you are saying. That's the way I read it also.
