what should normal fuel pressure be? Mine is about 40 right now, could this get better with a new fuel filter? Maybe my fuel filter is just dirty?

Hey Michael, sorry to hear about your dad , I know how you feel, my mom and dad died 6 days apart last year.. anyway check the parts for sale forum , I was able to pick up the racetronics kit with the new wiring harness brand new in the box for $200 shipped. I have seen at least one more for sale since I bought mine, just keep checking! Good luck with your car!

tyvm how do I know (In dummy terms) if I need an aftermarket fuel pump. And are they hard to do yourself? Hardest thing I did myself was heads/cam swap.

heads and cam + 150 shot will require more fuel than the stock pump can supply.
Fuel pump swap will be easy if you've done a h/c swap.

Would an inline fuel pump work alright? How do I know if car needs more fuel? What are signs?

Inline will work alright. I have the electric NOS pump for a direct port setup with 30# injectors. I think that you would be ok in doing inline.

BTW: You sure do have low tq/hp for having heads and cam. What head/cam combo you running?

http://www.cardomain.com/id/ozorowsky see page 5 those are all my mods. I figured the numbers seem low as well. I think I have the wrong heads for my setup. "FRE Big Uglies" I put up posts about this a while back. Was thinking I should have higher numbers.

Now those #'s were on a Mustang Dyno in hot weather when car was an A4 with a 3600 stall. So some people said the #'s might be correct. I will see what they are when I get my new transmission put in car. (Rebuilding a manual tranny)

you saying you want to trade heads with me? or saying I should get rid of my heads? Should I get a different cam? I'm looking for more power. i was thinking of swapping my cam anyways, I can do it probably in about 6 hours. I just don't like the way my cam feels down low. I want a bit more torque so I can go hard off the line, then in about 2nd or 3rd gear flip the nitrous switch and let the WOT and window switch do the rest. I wouldn't want nitrous on through first. Thoughts? Wish someone lived close to help me out a little.
