My car is running the factory fuel pump, although it was replaced due to the TSB. Along with the factory pump is the Kenne Bell Boost A Pump. Brenspeed sells those by the truckload for everything under 500 wrhp. For over that amount, they sell the twin Ford GT pump kit.
Here's a link to the full Vortech kit they put together (at the bottom of the page)

Nope didn't get one......... (not sure I want one, actually). I kinda dig the stock piece, believe it or not. Plus, the big BRENSPEED windshield sticker gets enough attention!

Power Crazed Vortechtom439
And the Band kept playing!.........70MACH1OWNER, I've come to the conclusion that young gun!(Tom) has gone power mad since his Vortech install. Apparently Brenspeed installs Forced air Induction with out any ID check!...... So if at all possible you and I need to make it to Dyno Day May 5, and give him some tough love
So oil up your walker! and bring some extra Adult Diaper's......

(<---- TOM281) I don't think he power mad...just young and dumb. I can remember when I was like that. But I grew out of that phase and we can hope he will also. Scott

1) I kinda wish it was louder..... or maybe just that my exhaust was quieter, so I could hear the blower more. But then again my stereo is usually cranked, so I don't really know. What were we talking about?!?
2) I like the fact that under 3000rpm, it drives like stock. Well not really stock but like it was before the blower, when I had just the bolt-ons. I can pooch around town and stay outta trouble, well atleast so far.
3) I like the fact that I could use this blower with the CDC shaker and not have to fabricate some funky stuff just to make it work. Removing the shaker and buying a new hood would've sucked. Also I like how it looks overall, being polished and everything. Special thanks to Tacobill for hooking me up with some nice plugs to fill the now unused holes in the shaker shroud. My next attempt at completing the look is shown in the first picture below:
4) I don't like the fact that seemingly now, I need drag radials on the back to really be able to go WOT in first and second gear. When I get the 275/40 Nittos on, it will help much more than the stock Pirelli's but I still don't think that they'll be enough. I do have 4.10s though, so this may not be a concern to people with lesser gears. The blower and gears though will make for some killer donuts though, guaranteed!
5) I've started and pooched the car to work a couple times this week, when temps have been in the 20s, and so far there have been no problems with the blower at low temps.
6) The thing that I'm most impressed with is Brenspeed's tune...... really, it is what makes this system. Instant response, quick and easy starting even at cold temps, and great power make this car very enjoyable right now.

I am not sure I can give you total peace of mind but... Trust me when I say the 275 wide Nitto's do a bunch for extra traction. Since I have had mine my only complaint is I can't light them the way I could with the stockers. Of course I don't have 4:10's and haven't been blown lately.
