You'll have to provide your own sumped tank to properly set up this type of system. Rick couldn't speak highly enough about this fuel pump, saying it delivered 160 gallons per hour through 16 feet of fuel line, even at 60 psi. That's a lot of flow. Another reason he chose the pump was its compatibility with alcohol-thus E85, should he wish to try alternative fuel testing.
As is typical of big fuel-system installs on Fox Mustangs, Rick mounted a Y-block inside the passenger-side inner fender, then routed the lines to the fuel rails, and on to the regulator. This monster fuel system feeds eight Delphi 85-lb/hr injectors ($565), which proved easily up to the task of fueling the pump-gas combo. The injectors get the proper instructions from the PMS, thanks to a like-calibrated mass air meter from PMAS ($449).
You can tell how long it's been since Rick's car has been together, because he hadn't upgraded the car's PMS to the latest Series IV spec. He did so with this upgrade kit ($200). It includes the cool new handheld controller and access to new PMS functions such as tuning by boost, tuning by air-charge temp, individual cylinder tuning for timing and fuel, and much more. If you aren't familiar with the PMS, it plugs in between the factory wiring harness and factory engine-management computer and delivers the power of a stand-alone computer with the ease of a preprogrammed flash tuner.
If the finished combination doesn't get you excited, then you must not be a blue-blooded Ford maniac, 'cause this engine is hot. With a big cam; a cog-driven blower; and a free-flowing Bassani Xhaust-131/44 to 171/48 long-tubes ($900), a 3-inch X-shape crossover ($325), and a 3-inch muffler kit ($575), this combo will turn heads when it screams down the road. There's one more trick part that doesn't show up in this photo, however, and it's key to making big power on pump gas.
The secret weapon in the combination is Mr. Freeze ($189), AFM's own methanol injection system for centrifugal supercharger systems. This simple system plumbs into the blower inlet and dispenses methanol-rich wiper fluid on demand as the boost increases. Rick likes to use the PMS tuning based on air-charge temp to make Mr. Freeze failsafe in case the fluid runs out.
Here's a look at the datalog from the optional PMS Interaq software, which takes its readings right from the factory sensors and the PMS' MAP sensor. The top graph shows how the boost pressure affects the inlet temperature. Normally, the air-charge temp would go up with the boost. But with Mr. Freeze, the temps plummet, finally creeping up to 126 degrees. The lower graph shows the timing decrease as the rpm increases. This keeps things from breaking.
