Only problem now is my chip the programs start out: Hi idle, Hwy MPG, and Hot. Well the 'Hot' program is the lowest HP before the next 3 and it swings 40-42 psi of boost. First time I really rolled into it hard I was in my 5th position, which it has been in since I installed the chip, well just barely started to roll into it and got about 1/2 throttle and the needle was passing 43-44psi with gusto!! So needless to say I will be keeping it in my 'hot' setting or maybe going down to a 'Standard' also.

Other than that no complaints, and fuel pressure seems to be healty with the stock SD fuel pump. It might have moved down 1-3psi, but that is on mild programs too.

I don't feeling like typing it all out right now, so see This Thread for the whole story.

looks good....planning on doing about the same thing. Whered you get all your parts. Mr. Wizzard?

Only thing I got from DI was the fuel fittings that go in the head. Other than that, I have Swamps injectors, the H2E can be had from various vendors(I had it already though), and the 3" intakes I got from the Ford dealer. I the pump and filter off my other truck, which had a small fuel system. But all the fuel system components were bought local from various shops, Parker Hydraulic store was the biggest help. I usually have a used SD fuel pump or 2 laying around, and the Fuel pressure regulator I bought from a local mustang shop since I was in there one day for something and they had it on display.
